"Does this happen in a lot of other cities?" Top 5 Page for this destination Mobile Warnings Or Dangers Tip by PA2AKgirl

I haven't seen it happen all the time in other cities but in Mobile, on Sundays especially, there are going to be people selling things at the stoplights. I don't mean like crafts or whatever they have, but the city pays them to sell the local newspaper. Where the warning comes in is right when the light goes from red back to green and everyone is trying to go...these people (most are kids) selling the Press Register haven't gotten out of the street quite yet. They will walk right up to your window, see if you want a paper and then hesitate to move when you want to drive. This also happens with Krispy Kreme doughnuts on the weekends--same thing. If you want a box of them, flag the guy down and there you go. I guess it's how most people get their papers and I'm not sure there's been an incident, but use caution at the main intersections--you don't want to run anyone over and for your own safety as well, use good judgement.
