Dear drivers, when turning right across an intersectionB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s crosswalk, please wait for the pedestrian to get to the other side before turning so close to them. Waiting three or four seconds for a person to cross will not make a difference in your life but could save mine.
When turning left across a crosswalk - same thing. Too many times cars turn before we are even halfway across the crosswalk B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·“ should we stop suddenly or trip, guess who gets hurt? Me, not you or your vehicle.
We have already been hit and would prefer not to get hit again. ItB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s very worrisome for people pushing strollers, walkers or who have little kids with them - we all know how predicible small kids are. Please, wait a few seconds so we all get where we are going safely. Thank you.
