Slow DOWN… March 17, 2023 (12:18 am)

Slow down people. Please just slow down. That extra 5 mph and seconds making a right at a stop aren’t going to get you anywhere after in life, so why risk the medical bills of a pedestrian? Not saying speed is at fault here, but given the news from the car flip the night earlier, wouldn’t be a surprise.

I highly appreciate that WSB does not call these “accidents”. Thank you for that.

I’ve emailed SDOT for years about striping the intersection at that 4-way stop. The intersection is wide and leads from Westcrest. Hope the pedestrian is okay.

I walked by right after this happened, I hope he’s ok. At night people don’t even pretend to stop at this intersection anymore. I was really surprised when the city put in road improvements last year that crosswalks here weren’t included.

Sorry, comment time is over.
