Pedestrians Get In Way Of People Going 70
 |
While traveling north on Roosevelt Boulevard from Hunting Park, I wondered if the so-called "Safety Corridor" included pedestrians unlawfully crossing against lights and playing "chicken," etc.
Is this "Targeted Enforcement Area" aimed only at drivers who mistakenly run yellow/red traffic lights? Surely, PennDOT can install cameras that encompass the whole terrain (medians included), so that fines can be levied toward the folks who choose to roam the Boulevard at night, ignoring traffic laws.
Ahh, yes, all those pedestrians playing chicken. That was a fine game we played as kids!
Let's get the pedestrians, too [Northeast TImes]

Imagine traffic court with facial recognition software trying to identify the faces in the pictures at night- or does the writer want pedestrians to wear license plates too????

I'm sure those pedestrians are all "mistakenly" playing chicken. Can't blame them for that.
