Pedestrian Crossing Dangers on Boulevard
 It’s becoming all too common… The second pedestrian in four days – hit by a vehicle on the Boulevard in Montgomery.
Â
The first pedestrian was crossing West South Boulevard near I-65 and Sassafras Circle around 3 Sunday morning. He was hit and killed. Wednesday, another pedestrian was crossing East South Boulevard when he was hit. He suffered only minor injuries.
Â
Just in the time our camera was there on the South Boulevard, we saw 5 pedestrians try to cross 6 lanes of traffic.
Drivers we talked to say something needs to be done to stop pedestrians from crossing.
Â
“The traffic is so heavy out here and a lot of people are just walking and not paying attention to what’s going on. A lot of drivers are not paying attention, so we definitely need something here to help the pedestrians try to cross the street,” said Sallie Davis.
Â
The road is actually controlled by the State Department of Transportation.
It would be up to the legislators to pass a law to lower the speed or change it in any way.
