I am writing to emphasize the urgent need for blinking lights at pedestrian crossings along A1A in Ocean Ridge. This busy stretch of road, with its limited visibility, presents a significant danger to pedestrians.
Whether residents are out walking their dogs, jogging, or simply enjoying a stroll, the risk of accidents is far too high, especially during low-light hours or inclement weather.
Blinking lights at crossings would offer a crucial warning to drivers, making pedestrians more visible and helping to prevent avoidable collisions.
This simple yet effective solution has been successfully implemented in other communities with similar traffic concerns. It’s time for Ocean Ridge to prioritize pedestrian safety by adopting these lights at key crossing points.
With increasing vehicle and foot traffic in the area, this proactive measure would go a long way toward reducing risks and ensuring a safer environment for everyone.
