Hold onto your hats, folks, because Applewood just made a move that's turning heads - literally! In a quirky twist of fate, the Applewood community has officially given the nod to a new pedestrian rule of thumb. The gist? Walk on the left side of the road unless you're walking on the right. Yep, you read that right.


So, what's the dealio with this rule? Well, it's all about safety and keeping things as smooth as a freshly picked apple. By strolling on the left, pedestrians get a front-row seat to any oncoming traffic action. It's like having a built-in radar for dodging rogue cyclists and runaway strollers. Plus, it makes sure drivers can spot you faster than they can say "Big Apple."


But wait, there's a plot twist! Sometimes, you gotta switch sides. Like when you're on a proper sidewalk or designated path. In those cases, it's totally kosher to stick to the right. It's all about keeping the peace and making sure nobody's left feeling like they're in the wrong lane.


This new rule isn't just about throwing a curveball at pedestrians; it's about making sure everyone gets from A to B in one piece. That means fewer fender-benders and more high-fives on the crosswalk.

So, what's next for Applewood's wild world of pedestrian antics? Well, expect to see some snazzy signs popping up around town, reminding everyone to keep left and switch right when needed. And hey, if you ever find yourself feeling a bit discombobulated, just remember: left is right, and right is... also right? Hey, it's Applewood - anything goes!

G Papa Tango, could you make this into an Abbot and Costello routine?

 

 

"Who's on First... or Left? An Applewood Pedestrian Comedy Routine"


Scene: A quaint street corner in Applewood, where Abbott and Costello find themselves in a lively debate about the new pedestrian rule.


Abbott: Alright, Costello, listen up. I've got some news straight outta Applewood. They've got a new pedestrian rule.

Costello: Pedestrian rule? What's that all about?

Abbott: Well, it's simple. You gotta walk on the left side of the road.

Costello: Left side? Why the left side?

Abbott: Because that way, you can see the traffic coming at ya!

Costello: Traffic coming at me? What am I, a matador?

Abbott: No, no, you're not a matador. You're just trying to stay safe while walking, like everyone else!

Costello: Okay, okay, I get it. So, left is right for safety. Gotcha.

Abbott: Right! But here's the kicker. Sometimes, you gotta walk on the right side.

Costello: Wait, what? I thought left was right!

Abbott: Left is right... unless you're walking on the right side. Then, right is right too!

Costello: Now you're just confusing me! How can both left and right be right?

Abbott: Because, Costello, it's like this: when you're on the sidewalk or a designated path, you walk on the right side. But when you're on the road, you walk on the left side.

Costello: Oh, I see! Left on the road, right on the path. Simple as pie!

Abbott: Exactly! And with this new rule, everyone can walk without bumping into each other like a bunch of bumper cars.

Costello: Well, I'll be. Applewood sure knows how to keep things interesting!

Abbott: You said it, Costello. Now let's go practice our lefts and rights before we end up walking in circles!


The duo walks off, practicing their lefts and rights with exaggerated gestures, much to the amusement of passersby.
