To the Editor:
As long-time vacationer on LBI, I would like to add my thoughts on pedestrian right of way. If I’m not mistaken, it’s noted that pedestrians have the right of way while using crosswalks. My input on this is for the drivers.
When you are going to stop for pedestrians to cross, you can flash your lights so they can acknowledge you are giving them the go-ahead. This is the most important rule we do not have here. Once you have given the pedestrians the go-ahead, put on your flashers.
