Whenever I have the misfortune of driving through campus when a class lets out, I inevitably end up waiting for long periods of time at cross walks, usually turning a 15 minute drive into a 40-50 minute drive. It only takes a few considerate pedestrians a few moments to help alleviate this problem.
There seems to be some confusion because some people have told me that I don't provide a solution to the problem. Obviously we can't implement any sort of enforceable policy, but rather we can make this problem known, so pedestrians might be more likely to let a car or two go when foot traffic is heavy. There was a similar initiative last year with "Catch the Wave" that was very successful.
