kokopelli Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I have noticed the new signalized pedestrian crossing on 2nd Road seem to be very effective. If someone activates the light and is in the cross walk the motorists do stop and even wait for the green before proceeding. Also noticed that some peds are too ignorant, stupid or lazy to walk a short distance to safetly cross at these signals. Another side benefit is these light cause gaps in the traffic flow up line which makes it easier for motorists to enter into the traffic flow from side streets. Quote
Guest njjim Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I think everyone would be wise to be very careful when using the ped crossings. Most people do seem to stop (if there are people in the crosswalks) - but there are some motorists who totally ignore the red light, the stopped traffic, and the pedestrians trying to cross the street. BE VERY CAREFUL! Quote
