Someone in this town has got to do something about all these people who cross from the apartment complexes across from Shloimy’s plaza to Shoprite and back. This is the second person that was seriously injured there in under two months while crossing there.
she was right near a traffic light at an intersection. i don’t understand why pple can’t use traffic lights. it’s a much safer option and crossing that highway is extremely dangerous.
i see them cross from shoprite in middle of traffic ALL the time. the worst is when they have 6 little kids with them and they all go running across on their own
everybody so brilliant
Did this happen when the traffic was messed up because of the downed power lines? Were the traffic lights working or were they out?
People seem to forget that they’re crossing a highway. They throw caution to the wind and dash across without minding the lights, the cars or, sadly, their kids.
Is that Capt. Miick in the picture? I thought he retired in 2010. Maybe some of these pictures should be retired.
