Cross Detroit Avenue at Your Own Risk
Lakewood Patch spent some time looking into complaints over whether motorists ignored the pedestrian crossing signals at Detroit Avenue.
During the past few months, we’ve received several tips that motorists were ignoring the pedestrian crosswalk at Manor Park and Detroit avenues, creating a dangerous situation for those crossing the street.
So, I decided to check it out.
In about 45 minutes, I found that very few people stop at the crosswalk, as required by law. Many of those motorists were very clearly texting while driving.
