Operation Crosswalk on Day Blvd: Let’s keep it going!

“Bad boys, bad boys!  Whatcha gonna do?  Whatcha gonna do when they come for you!”

On Friday on Day Blvd, the State Police set up a little crosswalk sting. You know, it’s when a plain clothes officer poses as a pedestrian standing in a crosswalk waiting to cross.  When drivers fail to stop to let the pedestrians cross, a cruiser lying in wait pulls the vehicle over and gives them a ticket.

Our Southie “boots on the ground” let us know of Operation Crosswalk going down and we quickly walked to Day Boulevard at M Street Beach to check it out for ourselves.  And low and behold,  we witnessed several cars pulled over for failing to stop for a pedestrian.  

We say keep it going! It would be great to see BPD set up another Operation Crosswalk on L Street and Farragut Road!
