A 61-year-old woman died after she was hit by a vehicle in a crosswalk in Encinitas Friday evening, sheriff’s officials said.The reporting isn't clear, but it sounds as if the woman may have been crossing against the signal.
UPDATE: The victim is Carmen M. Gonzalez, who resided on Gardena Road near Santa Fe Avenue.
Should we fence Encinitas Blvd to stop illegal crossers?
ReplyDeleteThis is very bad. That crosswalk at Balour Dr. and Encinitas Blvd. is part of the route to school at Oak Crest, and a popular route to the Encinitas Community Center. The City recently spent a bundle on the sidewalk as part of the "safe route to schools" program. What will Encinitas do to remedy this dangerous situation?
ReplyDeleteI guess we need to remove crosswalks along with the sharrows.
ReplyDeleteEither that, or expect drivers to obey the law.
