What a Great Day For a Walk

Was the weather nice today or what? Mid 50's at least. A great day FINALLY for a walk. So, I headed out on my specially mapped out course down Bass Lake, Sherman to Auburn and then return. About an hour. A little longer today since it was the first time in months and the snow was still a bit of a hazard in spots. But, for the most part, a glorious day for a walk. Walking along the highway in rural Geauga county requires the obvious. No sidewalk, so the berm of the highway is the walkway. The roads here are wonderful. Very FEW potholes, a wide berm and very visible marked lines that define the lane for drivers. I actually enjoy walking, even on declared state highways. The roads are maintained that well.

For the most part drivers are aware of the rules. Most but not all. Some seem to think that any pedestrian is fair game. Or, worth a finger, horn blast or more. Maybe they should go back and re-read the Ohio Revised Code. They DID PASS their original drivers license exam. Or, maybe they just give folks a pass. Now, being vision impaired I carry my white cane on these walks but don't use it unless I an not really sure of something. Nonetheless, I don't bank on those regulations bearing on vehicle drivers for alot of folks seem to be clueless about that at the outset. I just am responsive to the regulations that pertain to fully capacitate pedestrians. I know the rules. The question is. How may drivers do?
