Signs appreciated

To the Editor,

Oh, thank you so much, Swarthmore Borough, for the new Big Yellow Signs at the intersection of Harvard Avenue and Chester Road, alerting drivers that there are actually people hoping to cross the street at this location! Drivers come to that intersection with NO intention of slowing down at all. I have been playing chicken with them for years, feeling like they were enraged by my need to cross the street.

At least I no longer have to walk my child to nursery school. And the construction of the Blue Route certainly reduced traffic on Chester Road. But I think people have become much more inconsiderate lately, or maybe they are blind. I hope the signs will work!
