Description

There needs to be signs posted at this intersection that pedestrians have the right of way in the crosswalk and cars must yield. Or the city needs to make this intersection a no turn on red. I park in the parking deck and cross this intersection twice a day and there isn't a week that goes by that at least three to four times a week a car wanting to turn on onto McDowell from Fourth Street either comes very close to hitting me because they're looking the other way, or they get tired of how long it takes me and start blowing their horns. I even have had people yell out their window that their light is green and they have the right of way when in fact they don't. I believe this to be an extremely dangerous intersection for pedestrians and if something isn't done, someone is going to be seriously injured or worse because of the drivers ignorance of the traffic laws or because they're not willing to yield the right of way.
