Good for you for continuing to complain though unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to enforce the law of stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks unless there's a traffic officer ticketing these inconsiderate scofflaws!!

Too bad, motorists refuse to obey the rules of the road--and sadly, Medford does not collect all the potential windfall that could come from fines!!

As there are no prior records of your complaint either in our dispatch system I don't know what you referring to. It would be helpful if you supplied a specific location or times its happening so we can address the problem.

How about every single day during rush hour. Just now crossing the street at 5:05 on June 15 2 cars passed by me while staring at me in the crosswalk. And even before rush hour people in the crosswalk don't get paid attention to. Not only here but all around Medford.

Agreed--as a driver and a pedestrian. Not sure why, but compared to Somerville, Arlington, Cambridge, Melrose, etc. drivers in Medford seem to be far more aggressive toward pedestrians and cyclists. A lot of it has to do with road infrastructure and utter lack of traffic calming measures in Medford as compared to surrounding communities. I.e., a street that looks like a 40 mph straightaway will be treated as such even if (occasionally faded) crosswalks are painted.

This particular intersection is a pedestrian hotspot -- a bus stop and park and historical site across from a large apartment complex -- but also a confusing and frustrating intersection for motorists.

Again unless you provide a location we can't assist you,

If you looked at the map I dropped the pin you could clearly see it says the intersection of main and George. You know where the blinking yellow light is? Where the park is? Could I be any clearer? Several months later this is still a problem. The past 3 days alone numerous cars have avoided stopping for me in the crosswalk with 1 in particular after getting off the bus and proceeding cautiously he flew around the bus and almost hit me. And had the nerve to yell at me. I don't like confrontation but it took a lot for me not to stop in my tracks and beat the living daylights out of him
