40% of California households speak spanish now. We have a lot of pedestrians which is why they put these in but they are dangerous without stoplights especially in zones exceeding 25 MPH. $1,000 is ridiculous as well.

We have some pedestrian crossing in 40mph zones here. It is kind of stupid, but it is there. So, is this a temporary thing or some new crossing that they built? Perhaps you could take a pic for us.

Spanish-speaking or Spanish Only?

Actually, that number is from a Stanford study:

http://www.stanford.edu/dept/csre/re...execsum_14.pdf

40% of people in California speak a language other than English at home. Spanish is the second most common language (26%).

80% of native born Californian's speak English only. Of foreign-born population, 51.7% speak Spanish at home.

Personally, I don't see the problem here.
