Dodging Cones

So everday when Im driving down my street I always see cones put out blocking the road. Parents do it to make drivers slow down so their children wont get hit. I deal with these everday. I am not against safety, but I do get very annoyed when I am dodge cones driving down my street.

When I was a child, all the children on my block would look out for cars. Whenever we would see a car we would yell "CAR!" and everyone would run to the sidewalk. Nowadays, children could care less if there is a car in the street. Ill be drving waiting for them to move, and the keep riding their bike or playing in the middle of the street, as if I have all day to wait for them.

Safety is very important to me, but parents cannot just block the road so thier kids can play without telling them to get out of the road when there are cars. Its a two way effort and it gets old dodging cones when kids dont even care if your in the road or not.
