PEDESTRIAN CROSSOVERS ARE COMING
In case you missed it, Hamilton is rolling out pedestrian cross-overs in key locations in Hamilton. One of those locations is at Queen and Herkimer, a notoriously dangerous crossing for pedestrians. Read all about it at: Spec article These pedestrian cross-overs mean new rules for drivers and pedestrians. We can all adapt our behaviours to the new rules, just as we do when we drive in a foreign country. Pedestrians will have to exercise caution as well — the goal is to have everyone arrive home safely.
