Pedestrians must obey all traffic signals. Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, and take extra care to look for pedestrians before making a turn or backing up. At intersections with ordinary traffic signals or Walk/Don’t Walk signals, pedestrians should cross only with green light or Walk signal. All drivers must yield. If the light changes, drivers must allow pedestrians to finish crossing. At intersections without signals, pedestrians have right of way in crosswalks and at corners. At marked crosswalks without signals in mid-block, drivers must yield to pedestrians. If a driver has a green light and a pedestrian starts to cross against a red light, the driver is required to give a warning with the horn.

He was part of a police-team pulling drivers over and giving them traffic safety brochures when they failed to yield. Armed with new accident data spotlighting the most dangerous streets for pedestrians, Triangle police departments are pouncing on drivers who fail to yield for people in crosswalks. The News & Observer RALEIGH John Kats had the law on his side Thursday when he stepped into the wide, white-band crosswalk in front of the Hillsborough Street YMCA. But he knew the law alone would not deliver him safely across the busy street. So he waited for a car and a delivery truck that zoomed in front of him, heading east. Then he walked to the middle of the street, paused to watch a westbound car, and finally made it to the other side. “They don’t often stop, so I’d rather wait than get hit,” said Kats, 48, heading for his car after a morning workout. “I’m not going to trust them to stop.” This time, the law really was with him. Four Raleigh police officers on BMW motorcycles spent two hours Thursday chasing down drivers who broke the law by failing to yield for pedestrians in that crosswalk, including Y patrons and an officer clad in jeans and T-shirt. It was part of Watch for Me NC, a safety education and enforcement campaign launched in August to reduce the car-pedestrian collisions that kill or injure 2,200 North Carolinians annually. In Raleigh, an average 150 pedestrians are hurt in accidents each year, and eight are killed. This month, police departments across the Triangle are swarming around pedestrian danger zones – on streets with high accident counts, and at crossings where researchers report that four out of five drivers fail to yield for folks on foot, as the law requires. They’re handing out hundreds of safety brochures and, for now, just a few tickets. Raleigh police Sgt. J.J. King, who coordinates traffic enforcement citywide, said his team stopped 51 crosswalk violators on Hillsborough Street. They missed more drivers who slipped through the net during periods when all four motorcycle officers were busy. Six drivers were ticketed in cases the officers considered egregious violations, King said. There was one motorist who had plenty of time to stop for plainclothes officer Peter Manukas in the crosswalk, but instead swerved onto the shoulder – and almost got away. In most cases, instead of writing out a ticket, Durham and Raleigh officers this month will deliver a brief lecture and then leave the offending driver with a safety brochure and a written warning. “We give them something to hold on to, something tangible,” King said. “So hopefully it’s a bit more of a reminder than just telling them, ‘Hey, you need to remember to stop for that pedestrian.’ ” Watch for Me NC is planned as a statewide effort, but it started with a focus in the Triangle. Collaborators include local police and planning agencies, and the state Department of Transportation, with money from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The UNC Highway Safety Research Center analyzed pedestrian accident records to help police focus their efforts on streets with lots of pedestrians and histories of accidents. In campaigns starting this week in Raleigh and next week in Durham, the target areas include busy spots downtown and near campuses and transit centers. Police added the Hillsborough crosswalk to their list at the request of Harvey Allen, a maintenance supervisor at the YMCA, who complained a few weeks ago after he narrowly avoided being hit by a car. Manukas wore plain clothes Thursday so he would draw no more notice than the usual civilian. But he probably could have kept the motorcycle officers busy if he had been decked out in the official blue. “A couple of our officers went out in full uniform, hats on, the whole nine yards,” King said. “They stepped out into the intersection, and drivers still were not yielding right of way. So it’s definitely something we need to bring attention to.” Lucas Vandenberg, 30, told the officer who stopped his car that he had driven through the crosswalk because he had the impression that Manukas did not really intend to cross the street. But he didn’t quibble about the law. “I think people should yield to pedestrians,” Vandenberg said. “They’re trying to cross an extremely busy road here.” Drivers are the focus of the education campaign, but officers also are leaving brochures with jaywalkers. King had words Thursday with two men who angled across Hillsborough without bothering to use the crosswalk. Charles Hilliard was glad to see the police attention. Walking his grandson, Josh, along the crosswalk with Manukas, he laughed triumphantly at a few drivers who waited to let them cross. “Yeah, maybe you’ll start stopping now,” he shouted, pointing his finger at a red-and-white taxi. “Half of them won’t stop,” Hilliard, 58, said later. “They’ll run you over. They keep zooming and zooming. And you have to stop in the middle of the street to keep them from hitting you.” Siceloff: 919-829-4527 or blogs.newsobserver.com/crosstown or twitter.com/Road_Worrier/ On Oct 4, 2012, at 3:22 PM, Andrew Bruch wrote: > > >It would appear that the pedestrian must be entering the roadway - not just standing on the curb - > > > > >NCGS - § 20‑173.

This has been approved by the City of Raleigh. The parade will begin on Clarendon Crescent at the East Building, go around the stadium on Lord Ashley and then up Bertie Drive to the back entrance of Enloe. We anticipate the parade to start around 12:45 and last no more than 30 minutes. (approved until 1:30 PM for street closures). Students will be dismissed from class at 12:30 to begin lining up along the parade route. However, they are still considered "in school" and will be monitored by their classroom teachers, school administrators, counselors, WCPSS security and Raleigh PD. Being that the school is near 2700 students, it may be necessary to utilize both sides of the street on Bertie Drive. If this happens, students will be closely monitored and informed to remain on the sidewalks and not to run around in the residents yards. I would like to encourage the local community to come and watch the parade alongside the Enloe Community. There will be four floats, the homecoming court, athletic teams and the marching band. As always, thanks for your continued support of the Enloe Community!Matthew S.

Burglary Prevention Seminar // 10/24, 7-8:30pm @ Lions Park

by Emrys Treasure

Eastsiders, The East CAC and Longview Park Community Watch with support from the Raleigh Police Department will hold a burglary prevention seminar on October 24th from 7-8:30pm at Lions Park Community Center. The immediate need for this seminar is rooted in a recent string of burglaries in our area. However, I think we can all agree that that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and that proven tactics are better than best guesses (both at the individual and community level). In addition, understanding what the police response is can help us all better deal with the unfortunate aftermath that follows such a crime and what our role is in that response (especially for victims). When: Wednesday, October 24, 7-8:30pm Where: Lions Park Community Center Agenda 1. Introduction, Purpose, and Outcome -- Emrys Treasure, Matt Leary, and Officer Kryskowiak -- 5 min. 2. Target Hardening: Tactics for Individuals and Communities to Prevent Burglary -- Officer Kryskowiak -- 20 min. 3. Peer Learning: Attendees Offer Examples of What They Have Done to Deter Burglaries and Other Crime -- All - 15 min. 4. Understanding the Police Approach to Preventing and Responding to Burglary -- Officer Kryskowiak and/ or Burglary Detective/ Specialist -- 20 min. 5. Questions and Answers -- All, Facilitated by Officer Kryskowiak -- 30 min. Bring your experiences and questions. We look forward to seeing you there. Emrys Treasure Co-Chair East CAC

It could be totally unrelated and innocent. But it could also be the MO for the thief. They case potential target cars at night. Leaving the note gives them an idea about the car alarm and also an excuse if they are caught. So everyone be on the lookout for notes left on your car and late night activity.
