Ocean Ridge: Signs sought to aid pedestrians

Posted by Mary Kate Leming on July 2, 2009 at 15:10

OCEAN RIDGE — Signs that warn motorists to stop for pedestrians, set for four crosswalks on A1A, got the go-ahead from commissioners in June at a cost of $2,000. The panel wants to install the signs in the middle of the road on breakaway poles at lower than seven feet high, and still has yet to determine whether the Florida Department of Transportation will allow it. The crosswalks are perilous without signage, commissioners said, because motorists aren’t aware they are required to stop for pedestrians. — Margie Plunkett
