A Conversation for The Green Cross Code
Zen Jaywalking
Crazed Monk Started conversation Jul 18, 2003
A few years back, the Washington Post's Style Section published a controversial article on crossing roads, entitled "TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE". Approaching the issue from a self-declared "artistic" perspective, it functions effectively as a handguide for safe jaywalking, with a distinctly Zen feel.
While children should NEVER break the basic rules of crossing, it is important to realize that many adults will jaywalk no matter what. For this reason, it is important that those adults who must live dangerously do so thoughtfully.
I cannot say how applicable this is to areas away from DC, but it may be found online here:
