There is no stop or yield sign at that intersection so we get a decent amount of people who don’t pay attention to other vehicles coming down Crescent. According to the police, Crescent has the right of way and Thomson has to yield. Yeah right. Add in the frequent speeding on both streets, the lack of sidewalks, upcoming summer with kids playing outside; there have been near misses already.

I’ve talked with the City multiple times. The answer was to put some yellow “turtles” right before the intersection at Thomson. So far many people seem to ignore them. Oh, and according to the city there is no reason for a yield or stop sign there. I’m also getting tired of people blowing through the stop sign at 40th and Crescent. There have been many near misses there, and coming within a foot of being t-boned is not my idea of fun (well, almost being t-boned 5 times this year so far means that I’m extremely wary of driving or walking to Safeway.)

But hey, no one has died lately so that means it’s all great! *sighs*
