I avoid central Durham as much as I can for this very reason.
There’ a massive amount of students who wander about and seem completely oblivious to traffic, had 2 last week just walk out in front of me wearing massive headphones. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen them walk over a light controlled crossing well after the green light has gone off and traffic has started moving over it again.
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
