Description

I cross Long Wharf Dr several times a day. There is a street level pedestrian crossing sign in the roadway that is mostly ignored. Would it be possible to get a flashing "Pedestrian Crossing Ahead" sign placed in each direction prior to the crosswalk? Cars do not stop, and if they do other cars fly around them. Most drivers are on their cell phones so to start to cross and hope that they stop is quite dangerous as they are not paying attention to the road. There are several companies whose employees park across the street at Sports Haven and work in the Maritime Center. This is a VERY dangerous crosswalk. There have been very close calls with drivers slamming on their brakes to avoid the cars that do stop, and close calls where people have been very close to getting hit by cars that fly around those that do stop. Thank you.
