Description

I drive on Division several times a day and every day I see at least one car suddenly stop at the Jefferson crosswalk because they mistakenly think the crosswalk dividers require a 3-way stop (even when no pedestrians are present). If the city is concerned about pedestrian safety at this intersection, I ask that you please replace the crosswalk dividers with either of the HAWK signals or Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons that are now so prevalent around the city. Either of these signals would be much safer for pedestrians trying to cross Division (as it would provide a very clear visual cue to drivers that they need to stop), as well as it would decrease the likelihood of a rear-end collision from cars on Division suddenly stopping at the intersection for no reason.
