To the Editor:

Attempting to cross the Boulevard is not simply a problem in Ship Bottom. It is a problem throughout the Island and there are no easy solutions, but one comes to mind.

Drivers need to remember that pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right-of-way by law. This means drivers are required to stop while the pedestrian is crossing without exception. This was of paramount importance to know when we studied for our driver’s licenses and during our on-the-road examination.
