Description

Trying to cross the street here (Dam Neck Rd and Princess Anne @ Farmers Market to Princess Anne Park) is very scary! The crosswalk is located around the corner about 50-100 feet from the cars who want to turn right. When the crosswalk says walk, their light turns green and they just GO without being able to see pedestrians, without taking the crosswalk into consideration. By the time they would see the person crossing...they would hit them or have to slam on their breaks! I no longer want to cross here because I have a 2 year old daughter and it was scary today. People weren't paying attention and I was unable to even cross the first time, and the second time I asked this gentleman (Steve Smith) who was working on the electrical box there, to help me. He had to step into traffic to stop the cars just so we could get across safe! This NEEDS to change. Either their light needs to be red when someone is crossing, and NO TURN ON RED and/or put more signs out to be aware of pedestrians crossing with flashing lights to get their attention. I talked to many people about that crosswalk and they all agree how scary it is. People avoid that crosswalk all together and end up using the other side which doesn't even have a crosswalk so it's illegal.
