To the Editor:
Speaking of jaywalking and pedestrian safety ("Students fined for jaywalking on Washington Road", March 8, 2018):
The crossing of Washington Road at Prospect Avenue is an accident, and possibly a death, waiting to happen.
Many pedestrians don't realize they will not be favored with a 'walk' signal to cross Washington if they don't press the button. They then cross anyway, technically jaywalking, while cars are turning. The cars, meanwhile, see a 'don't walk' signal and assume they have the right-of-way.
We have all seen the confusion and near-misses this causes. Please join me in imploring the university and the town to make the walk signal automatic before, rather than right after, the inevitable tragedy.
