Our Quiet Street


There’s not very much vehicle traffic on our street. It’s a dead-end so most of the cars are local residents or people parking here to walk to the shops in town. The street is three blocks long with a sidewalk on one side all the way to the end. Where the street stops, a grassed footpath connects our neighbourhood to other houses further down the path.

It’s a walk of two or three minutes from our end of the street to the main shopping area of Leominster. With the footpath the street is a convenient shortcut for people to get from home to the shops and a lot of people take advantage of it. The strange thing is that the majority of these pedestrians don’t use the sidewalk, but walk in the middle of the street instead. Some of them move over to the side when they hear a car coming and others don’t.

What’s up with that?
