- Staff · September 5, 2023Gaps in traffic for pedestrians to safely cross Hull St is a key issue. Marked crosswalks alone are insufficient, since pedestrian crash risk may be increased by only providing a marked crosswalk. We must consider using other treatments, such as traffic signals with pedestrian signals where warranted to improve crossing safety for pedestrians. A pedestrian signal is a capital expense and not planned at Evans St nor is a crosswalk. A crosswalk with pedestrian signals is available at the Hull / Clopton / Midlothian intersection.
