Description

I started across Long Wharf Dr from Hamilton St to the Maritime Center before 7am. I was carrying some heavy stuff and started across the street as there were no cars coming. I was just about into the second of the four lanes when a car came speeding around the corner from the intersection of East/Forbes/Water St and I had to run to get out of his way. He was NOT slowing down. PLEASE can we get some sort of Pedestrian signal besides the signs that are posted AT the crosswalk, which are no help whatsoever. I know the police are busy, and I appreciate that they have other things to attend to, but how about a having the traffic division come out for a few mornings and afternoons and issue tickets. Perhaps it would slow some of the drivers down. The cars coming through here are travelling well over the speed limit. It is like crossing a highway most days.
