So close! DC Code § 50–2201.28 says drivers must STOP for pedestrians.
It used to say yield, but the DC Council changed the law in 2005 after @DCPoliceDept testified that there "was an ambiguity about the definition of the word 'yield' with respect to the current law."
⚠️Drivers must Yield to Pedestrians in Crosswalks⚠️
MPD is enhancing Step Out enforcement: Traffic Safety Officers enter crosswalks to observe drivers who don’t yield. Failing to stop may mean a ticket! Yielding to pedestrians keeps our roads safe. #MPD#PedestrianSafetyMonth
Lmao @bikeshare’s GPS is off and it automatically fined me for parking inside a no parking zone, except I definitely did not park where the pin is located. Great work.

Kind of wild that @postlocal has projected Brooke Pinto to win the DC Council seat but has not yet called Allister Chang to win the DC State Board of Education seat. Both candidates are unopposed and have the same electorate (ward 2), and neither race has reported results yet.

ALT A tweet from @MurielBowser that links to Google search results for “victory is mine.” The post has four images. Two of them have text that say victory is mine, and so does the third, which has christian phrasing. The fourth is an image of Stewie from “Family Guy,” firing a gun as if he’s executing someone, while squinting his eyes.
Is anybody else excited to have a contested ANC race after the incumbent (who’s running for reelection) won the office in an uncontested special election, after nobody ran in the last general election? Just me?
Moo Deng predicts Donald Trump will win US Election.
The famous baby hippo was presented with separate cakes featuring both candidates names, ultimately choosing to eat the Trump cake.
Providing ✨a map✨ of closures is much better information than @DCPoliceTraffic’s typical format for announcing road closures, which just lists a bunch of streets
