Diagonal_Intersections

Diagonal Intersections State law Indicates that drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing the street in a marked or unmarked crosswalk at intersections or designated mid-block crossings (that are marked). However, a pedestrian must also take due care for his or her own safety. Pedestrians cannot suddenly enter the street and walk or run in the path of a moving vehicle, especially when entering the street will cause an immediate hazard. Also, while in the crosswalk, pedestrians cannot unnecessarily stop or delay traffic. Problem In our case, at the intersection of Etiwanda and Plummer, they have all way STOP signs. During school hours (as shown in the charts), traffic can be at its highest at certain times during the day. At the same time the amount of pedestrians crossing the intersection multiply. The problem is the pedestrians don’t have a cross walk to tell them when they should go, they automatically cross the intersection. At times they kitty cross the intersection, holding up traffic.
