More crosswalks

-

A few days ago, while driving east on Queenston Road near Nash (as we all know a very busy traffic area) an elderly lady was crossing with a walker between intersecti­ons, definitely endangerin­g her life.

I agree that drivers have to slow down and be aware of pedestrian­s, however, the latter should take more precaution­s also.

Often the distance between one crosswalk to the next is pretty far, especially for seniors. I believe that there should be more crosswalks between intersecti­on, with warning lights above to warn drivers. These should be installed in heavy pedestrian traffic area.
