How come there is no pedestrian crossing lane on Broadway in front of the Gloucester City Post Office? Most of the people that go there park their car across the street.

I just walked to the corner of Cumberland and Broadway where there was a crossing guard, pedistrian crossing marks on the street and a sign reading yield to pedestrian\’s. It was clear to walk the first half of the street but the traffic coming the other way had to stop. The law is yield to the pedestrian in the cross walk, I almost got hit by a women.

A couple of months ago I took a walk with my daughter and was crossing in the marked area in front of Senior Citizens/CVS and had to actually grab my daughter so she wouldn\’t get hit. This guy actually sped up, a man at the bus stop yelled out to the guy.

You know in Arizona if you\’re just standing on the corner traffic stops and lets pedestrians go even if the vehicle has a green light. Maybe the Gloucester City News/Cleary\’sNotebook can post a educational billboard at both ends of town.
