Brazil cracks down on crosswalk-blocking vehicles

I nearly got hit by a car today, so I very much appreciate Brazil's Gracie Floripa Jiu Jitsu team proactive approach to drivers who insist on stopping their vehicles on crosswalks.

The action is part of a local Rotary Club's efforts to increase pedestrian safety.

Keep your eyes out for more auto-hoisting videos as the "Respect Life, Respect the Crosswalk" program will continue for another three years.
