Not all crosswalks are treated equally
“Red Phone, the flashing lights on the Little Llagas Creek crosswalk signs are permanently flashing. This gives a false signal to drivers that pedestrians are entering the roadway, which is not the case. I have observed some drivers stopping, while most are totally ignoring the flashing lights – since they are always flashing, (day and night). While I applaud the city for installing the creek path, the flashing lights at the crosswalk should only be activated when needed to give a real warning to drivers. This is the case for the creek crosswalk at W. Edmundson Avenue. Let's be consistent on how we install/use safety signage in our city. We do not need any more disasters on Cosmo Drive.”
