Driver Weighs in on Pedestrian Crossings

349

  Letter to the EditorTo the Editor,
The pedestrian crossings are not clearly visible to drivers. In England the crossings are very wide and painted in zebra stripes so that the drivers can see them far away. As a driver I’m often going too fast by the time I realize I’m at the pedestrian crossing.
Also, pedestrians must remember how to cross a street and look both ways before they step out. Since the new law took effect people wander into the street without looking.
Repaint the crossings and make them wider.
