What a pity,We lost another Yid.
It is always backed up over there. Cars are all over the place, and drivers rush not to get stuck. The whole thing has to be revamped.
Oy Vey!!! Baruch Dayan Emess!!!
Though i am sorry and horrified that someone (jewish or not) was hurt or killed, as a driver, I blame the pedestrians!! So many times I have to slam on the brakes and even nearly get hit from behind because some inconsiderate and selfish person decides to stroll along the street in front of my car IN MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND AGAINST THEIR LIGHT. Pedestrians have to respect drivers just as much as drivers need to respect them!!!!!
I drive to work there every day. #4 is only partially right. I think the biggest problems are the school bus drivers. I watched one Yeshiva driver this morning edge into the intersection on the red so he could make a quick turn down one of the side streets. Tomorrow & thereafter I am going to make a (mental) note of the irresponsible & dangerous drivers (I can read the Yeshiva names!) the time & the street. Then I’ll call the Yeshiva when I get to work & report the driver.
Those could be MY eineklach he’s driving!
