Description
This intersection is so busy and in a sensitive school zone with children/parents crossing. So many drivers roll through this intersection, making left & right turns, rarely stopping. They literally cut the corners constantly. Since we can't get APD traffic control support out here - is it possible to put up some of those white plastic barriers which make drivers slow down? This intersection has become so dangerous. A man behind me the other day honked because he said "I was taking too long" when I asked why he was honking at me. I advised him he needed to come to a full & complete stop as this was a school zone with children present. Guess he expected me to do a hollywood stop & roll on through. Please put up some of the protective barriers as well as better signage - such as the kind at the intersection of Robert Davey, Jr. Drive and Channing Way. Thank you.
