The sudden decceleration does not alarm you.
You know exactly what is happening.
The right of way has been granted to student pedestrians.
A matron dressed in yellow holds up a red, octagonal sign.
This signal has been given.
It is safe to cross.
As students flood the narrow yellow path to the entrance of the school, cars halt before the sight.
They halt out of respect for the lives of their fellow classmates.
Of course, this whole ordeal could have been avoided if the school had simply designed the entrance to the parking lot to occur before the stop walk.
