Do you guys know the status / legal authority of the clowns moms that flag the traffic for crossing schoolchildrens in the morning ?
Because while the road and traffic law clearly state that it is illegal to obstruct the crossing of young children (making these flagged clowns redundant). We got one that seems to take great pleasure to block the traffic at every red light even when the kids are still far from the edge of the road preventing access to a small side road and therefore blocking traffic on a main busy road (*). I seem to remember that voluntarily disruption of the traffic is also illegal but if these clowns have even half of an official mandate (from the police I mean, not from there mom or the school director as those have no legal authority on public roads) any complaint to the popo would fly out of the window...
(squeezed behind it this morning... as there was flag... but no kids anywhere at reach of the roadside...)
The older I get the less I seems to be able to cope with self granted authority... wuz never my forte any way...
(*) we also got one other at the same corner that proudly stand in front of the stopped -by the redlight- cars instead of protecting the other side of the road from cars turning in... I suspect excessive amount of lead or mercury in the tap water of this part of town...
