Based on this message I'm not sure you're qualified to handle the responsibilities of walking in public...

Disagree on this one Ric. If you are crossing a highway, you better make sure your butt is on the other side before the light changes. And the way Louis writes does confirm his message. He sounds entitled, and the world should stop for his presence.
Lets look at it this way Louis, Rt. 130 has 3 lanes, there are 5 vans lined up in the fast lane waiting to go. There are 4 vans in the middle lane. The slow lane is totally clear. Now, the light changes to green for the highway. The vans see you lazily walking across, because you feel the world should stop for you, so they don't move. Now the light is green and here comes an elderly woman, or a teenage driver in the slow lane, they see nothing but a green light and smooth sailing. Just as they get to the intersection doing about forty, here comes your dumba$$ taking his time and walks right in front of the car. The driver runs you down, you die, the driver crashes and hits another car killing a person there. Still feel entitled?! Cause that really happened! That why sgt Rooney is trying to save you because you are too tepid and feel entitled!

Copper 1. For exercise I walk all over Cinnaminson and sometimes I cross Rt. 130 to get to Wal-Mart or further up to the library. There is not enough time to cross the highway from the moment the light signals go for pedestrians - even Oscar P. couldn't do it. So next time a person is struck crossing the highway, instead of automatically considering him or her to be an "entitled dumba$$" remind yourself that the driver should be in control of his or vehicle at all times and should use caution when crossing a highway right after the light changes. Would you feel the same way if the person struck had been a kid going to the library?

(Before you go there, some people, especially kids, don’t use the crosswalk because they are afraid of heights.)

You know what they say, "If you get struck by a car, you shouldn't have been at the bar". Also, kids don't go to the library, they sit in their rooms and play xbox.

So, when someone hits a deer because it suddenly appeared in front of them, it's the drivers fault right?

Ric, STOP IT. Taxpayers spent a fortune building a pedestrian overpass so that people could cross Rt 130 safely. Before we bubble-wrapped our kids, they too used it to get to the high school. If you refuse to use the overpass, than you have no right to whine about traffic. Do we build a tunnel for Mr Larocca? Shall we worry about people afraid of enclosed spaces as well?

.Look, you have ignored what I said about the lights changing quickly and anything else I said. You want to play games and spew nonsense, find someone else. Grow up. You are making the police force look like louts by calling yourself copper1

@Ric, walking around cinnaminson is really a treat if your not looking at the speeders. I walk to and New Albany, Willow drive, and I can go on....nobody stops at stops signs and some drivers do not know where to drive....they hug the road and its really not safe in todays world...I never knew U can get a ticket for walking in this state, another way for cash to flow into the township...

I guess the comment police are at it again....oh well guess the truth hurts...

It is not always the driver's fault.. I've witnessed people walk in front of cars when cars have the right of way. I've also witnessed people who don't cross these roads with the purpose of getting to the other side in a hurry.. meaning..they just meander instead of briskly walking across the road. True...drivers should always yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk whenever they have the crossing sign, BUT...pedestrians have the responsibility to also be mindful that the light is going to change and should move quickly. I am a driver and a pedestrian...when walking across the road I move quickly looking for cars the entire time and when I'm a driver, I'm always on the look out for pedestrians. Hope everyone has a nice afternoon :)

Patch Reader, you summed it up nicely. I could not have said it better.
