Drivers are not stopping when the lights are flashing red. This crosswalk down Broad St. was recently added, and it has been such a great addition. I feel somewhat safer walking in the evenings, because I don’t like walking under the bridge(near the slave burial ground), since it’s getting darker earlier. I’m so grateful this crosswalk was added—but at the same time, I’m always fearful to cross, because drivers are disregarding the flashing red lights when the pedestrians have the right of way. I wish they would add cameras to discourage folks from speeding through the lights, and potentially injuring someone.
