I learned something new about red light cameras laws. Ty! No wonder Jersey drivers get their reputation. One way would simplify crossing for pedestrians which reduces crashes as long as the street is not too wide. You don’t think it would make a difference? If I am walking along Baldwin and crossing 139 I am only looking for cars front or behind me but not both and left or wright depending on which side of 139 I am passing.

Baldwin being one or two lanes would not have made a difference in last years death. The car that hit her was traveling east along 139 and she was crossing 139 going north/south along Baldwin. She was not crossing Baldwin.

I believe she was hit on 139 going south on Baldwin. She was walking to the filipino bakery, where she worked.

First off, I dunno whatever fly over bullshit state you’re from but- we know how to drive here it’s everyone else is the problem. Bada bing print that on a point pleasant tee shirt, forgetta bout it!

Also many of our highways are designed like shit due to space constraints and historical reasons (shits older here, like before cars some shit made more sense). If you live here now, do your best to pressure local, county, and state representatives for change (as often jurisdictions are a morass of overlap)

Stay out of the left lane, make fun of PA drivers for not doing that, and make fun of the NYC drivers for being the ‘crazy ones’. Hail Mary full of grace, Taylor ham, amen
