   Do they just walk out into the street without looking? Every day there is pedestrian struck.

     Teri Duffell Wavra I’ve come close to a lot of people who, at the VERY last minute decide to go when I’m 30 feet away and I’m doing 45-50 MPH on Rt 9. It’s the whole mathematical problem solving
     A car traveling 50 mph CANNOT stop to avoid a pedestrian who miscalculated foot speed/vehicle speed/distance from car to person. It happens every day! I think hitting a pedestrian or bicyclist is my biggest fear when driving! I don’t know if I could ever drive again if i hit and killed someone.

     Beth Lane omg. Most of the car traffic & foot traffic IS Lkwd residents, along with some delivery trucks & a few that have to work in town.
     People like myself know to avoid Lkwd at all costs bc it is not safe to drive through.
     Think of the 80s game FROGGER.

     It’s lakewood. You could stay in a building and get hit by a car.

   The crosswalk law gives pedestrians the right of way in a crosswalk. Somehow this is being interpreted that pedestrians have a magic cloak of invincibility around them and that they always have the right of way, so much that self preservation is no longer needed.

     Billie Morgan you hit the nail on the head right there! It’s those pedestrians who miscalculate the foot speed and car speed ratio!

   • Edward Tuminaro on February 18, 2020 - 20:30 at 20:30

     Distance equals rate of speed times the amount of time one travels!

   Pedestrians wearing dark colors are difficult to see at night. Darting out from in between parked cars doesn’t help.
