Had a homeless man walk right out in front on me on Brent under I110 near Davis the other day. He was walking on the sidewalk and then all of a sudden, he just turned and walked into the road. You can’t fix this by having better lighting or crosswalks. There’s a traffic light and a crosswalk not even 200 ft from where he walked in front of me. I nearly hit him. Had it not been for there being room on the curb, I probably would have. He just kept going like it was no big deal. I swear he was trying to kill himself.
Armadillos and possums are way too stupid to look both ways before crossing the road. Humans aren’t.
Very dangerous area esp. at night/
Spotty street lights, lots of fast traffic and foot traffic
Just a thought here. In ten years with a good percentage of ELECTRIC CARS, the pedestrian count will rise.
This is why I will never drive down Cervantes or N 9th Avenue at night anymore. People just dart out in front of you with no way of stopping.
