No surprises here

From Jacksonville's Financial News and Daily Record:

It won't come as a surprise to Downtown walkers that 1 in 5 drivers don't know that pedestrians are supposed to have the right of way in a crosswalk. That's one of the findings of a nationwide survey conducted by GMAC Insurance. The same survey reported that 1 in 3 drivers usually don't yield to pedestrians, even at a crosswalk or yellow light.

They should ask how many people know that you are supposed to stop at a stop sign or a red light before making a right turn. In Jacksonville, that number might be 1 in 100.
