<DIV><FONT size=2>There is no doubt that Matt, <SPAN>Sunil</SPAN>, Paul are correct about the behavior of certain pedestrians and bicyclists (and skateboarders, roller skaters, scooter riders, et al). Some are carelessly stupid. When caught, they ought be cited for their own good, and for the good of safe drivers who might unavoidably collide with them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>However, the number of serious vehicle infractions -- not stopping for traffic signals or stop signs, not stopping when there is clearly time for pedestrians, etc in crosswalks, making unsafe turns and/or entrances, highly inappropriate speed -- that I frequently observe is frightening.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am sure that many are tired of hearing about this, but yesterday, I had another close call at Washington and 3rd. I was going east on 3rd and stopped for the light. The light turned green. I looked but didn't see anyone coming north on Washington. Just as I started to move and was crossing the pedestrian lane a SUV on Washington sped through the signal turning left onto 3rd. I had to brake sharply to avoid being t-boned.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>This intersection is only one block from the MPD office.. The kind of incident I describe above is not uncommon. Frequently cars turning left onto 3rd violate not only the traffic signal laws, but pull out and block east moving traffic on 3rd when there obviously isn't a place on the north side of 3rd for them to clear from the oncoming traffic.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>It's not rocket science. If the MPD wants to have a concentrated enforcement action, then run a sting on that intersection for a month. Maybe the money collected from such a sting would help defray the expenses incurred by Steed, Krauss, their clueless leader, John Weber, and the City of Moscow trying to avoid complying with public records laws.</FONT></DIV>
