St Louis working to address dangerous crosswalk near Forest Park | KSDK.com
Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:
Foskin complained that the traffic "walk" light doesn't give pedestrians enough time to cross all eight lanes of traffic at Forest Park and Boyle. Even worse, cars with the green light, going in the same direction as pedestrians, often don't see the walkers in the crosswalk, when they turn left.
"At that location, that's something we can adjust," said Jamie Wilson, the city's newly installed Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Coordinator.
"We can install what's called a 'leading pedestrian indicator'," Wilson said. That's a way to tweak the timing on the traffic lights.
