[quote=Anonymous]I live around the corner. It's a bad crosswalk that drivers routinely disregard. There's a painted crosswalk but no light or stop sign, and the bars and brunch spots in Adams Morgan are unfortunately a draw for MD and VA drivers who aren't as accustomed to yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks without lights. When we use that crosswalk, (almost always MD or VA) drivers frequently try to speed up to either beat us before we cross their paths or to intimidate us into yielding to them. They rarely stop as they should simply because there are already pedestrians in the crosswalk. In order to get across the street, I need to proceed really assertively and make eye contact with the drivers to get them to stop. [/quote]
