DRIVERS: Please yield to pedestrians

| July 10, 2026 1:00 AM

I am unlike most people in that I spend a lot more time as a pedestrian than I do driving. When it is not raining or snowing, I spend about eight hours a week running or cycling. Fortunately, most of it is on the Prairie Trail or Centennial Trail so I don’t have to be on the streets very much. 

But there are times each week when I am crossing a street, sometimes where there is a stoplight and other times at a street with a crosswalk but no stoplight. Unfortunately, it is a very common occurrence that cars turn right in front of me when I have the walk signal at a stoplight. I don’t know if they don’t see me or if they just decide to go anyway.
