That Ought to Get Their Attention

District 10 is launching a “safety flag” project at hazardous crosswalks in the neighborhood. The concept is simple: As a pedestrian, you 1) grab a fluorescent orange flag that’s mounted on one side of the crosswalk, 2) wave it to get motorists’ attention, 3) walk across safely. After all, state law requires drivers and cyclists to stop for pedestrians in any crosswalk – marked or unmarked. (Once you reach the other side, just deposit the flag in the canister mounted there.)
