People frequently crossing the freeway during rush hour

In the past month alone, I've witnessed 6 instances of someone crossing Gulf Fwy near the Edgebrook exit around 5pm during rush hour and it's insane to me because they're literally playing frogger in real life causing cars to slam on their brakes/swerve to avoid hitting them. They're different people too. My assumption is either drugs or mental health issues.

Has anyone seen this happen elsewhere? I've lived here for a little over a year and this is the first time I've ever witnessed something like this before.
