If school had "walking laws" just like driving laws, what would getting to class be like?

There is a whole lot of traffic, not just on the streets but in our very own hallways. Trying to get from class to class is a struggle, not because some classes are at opposite ends of the school but because of people standing in the middle of the hallways just talking to friends. People have attitude when you ask them to move and they feel like they don’t need to move. Well the truth is you do have to move. People have places to be and things to do with other obstacles besides getting by other students. There is plenty of space for you to stand on the sides if you really need to talk.
When walking up and down the stairs of the science building try moveing to your right side for a more efficient and safe way to getting to your classes. The area of the science building is hard enough to get by when trying to get to class, so if you stay to your right, it should make for an easier way to get to class for everyone. I suggest staying to the right for all of the hallways in the school that are narrower also. Just think of traffic on the road… it’s the same concept; even if you can't drive yet, everyone knows to stay to the right.
At lunch everyone loves to just stand in the middle of the hallways. There are so many other places you could be and hang out with your friends, try to find a bench, stay to one side so it is easier to walk around you or find your favorite teacher and maybe they'll let you stay in their room at lunch. If you are in one of the narrower hallways don’t stand in a circle. It’s harder for people to get by. Instead, find a spot where you can still talk and face each other for eye contact.
It will make getting around school a lot easier if you don’t have to bob and weave through the hallways to get to where you need to go.
