  1. I drive there all the time and have had some near misses as its dark and some people just prance across the road with disregard , almost like taunting ” come hit me “

  2. Please be extra careful when driving and when walking at night. I was recently hit by a car and it is very serious. Please take extra care so we don’t have to have more tragedies. Thank you

  3. Crossers fail to realize the law states crosswalks are where they need to be legally yielded to and just walk in to the driving lane. Basically jwalking. Never mind the fact drivers don’t give enough attention to driving no matter what the area conditions are.
