A new pedestrian crosswalk with median refuge has recently been installed at Walnut Lawn and Broadway Avenue. LED lights were installed over crosswalk signage to increase visibility, but it is important for both pedestrians AND drivers to do their parts to keep everyone safe!
WALKERS: Parents should use extra caution when walking their kids to school on this route. We ask that everyone crossing make eye contact with drivers prior to entering the crosswalk.
DRIVERS: Please watch out for walkers at all times and respect crosswalks. Motorists are required by law to stop for pedestrians and are not allowed to pass other vehicles if pedestrians are present. For more information about pedestrian safety, visit http://www.springfieldmo.gov/sgfyields.
