혹시 아직 모르시는 분들을 위해 글 올립니다.
학교 근처의 13th St 과 University Ave 에서 무단횡단을 하시는 분들은 걸리시면 앞으로 $52.50 벌금이랍니다.
또, 보행자한테 양보하지 않는 운전자는 벌금이 $144 이라네요.
눈치 보고 샤샤샥 무단횡단 하던것도 이젠 끝이군요.
어찌 됐건, 교통 질서를 잘 지킵시다 - ;)

Police are buckling down on jaywalkers and drivers along both West University Avenue and Southwest 13th Street.
The Gainesville Police Department will issue warnings this week and start issuing citations next week.
Fines start at $52.50 for pedestrians and $144 for drivers who do not yield to pedestrians.
“There are so many kids coming to and from the school on these streets,” said GPD spokeswoman Officer Summer Hallett. “You can’t drive down University without kids running through the streets.”
To avoid fines, pedestrians are required to use crosswalks and obey traffic signals. Drivers must yield to anyone in a crosswalk.
UF freshman Noelle Anderson said she thought there was no reason for these fines.
“That’s more than the $30 parking fine on campus,” Anderson said.
Others disagreed.
“Campus is formed for pedestrians, so students forget that there is a higher speed limit on University,” said Justin Sterm, a fifth–year civil engineering student at UF.
