that is terrible!

(side note: just wondering, was it an older guy with salt and pepper hair and beard?
if so, that guy, while wearing his BOE uniform and badge no less, beeped and yelled at me for *not* illegally passing an 18 wheeler truck double parked across from modern last week. i guess he'd rather me endanger myself and others, presumably because he was in too much a rush to wait a minute while he was driving behind me.)

Yea--this guy is a nightmare. I see him driving around Orange Street all the time. I've seen him park on the sidewalks, completely blocking them, run red lights, and yell at cyclists.

I just put that sign back in the street, this morning, after the car crash last night. Drivers still don't yield to pedestrians at this crosswalk.

I added some individuals to watch this--this man is a persistent problem. I'll try to capture video next time I see him.

I have also seen BOE vehicles speeding on several occasions in this area.

The last time this happened, I reported the incident to the authorities (including plate numbers, time of day and descriptions). An investigation was promised, but I never heard back from anyone.

P.S. By authorities I refer to the NHPD, City of New Haven Mayor's Office and BOE. License plate 343 NH at 7:20 PM on 8/10/2008.

Luckily, the signs are remarkably well-engineered. It bounced right back up like a Weeble Wobble, though there was some warping.

I am closing this even though it was never even acknowledged or any indication that 'authorities' even looked at it.
