Would it be so difficult to add “to catch drivers who do not yield to pedestrians” to your term “crosswalk sting”? Readers might think the sting is directed against pedestrians who cross against the red pedestrian light… Just because you and your colleagues are familiar with the term crosswalk sting does not mean all readers are.
Any and everything to stop killings by crazy drivers who NEVER yield. Surprised the PD even announces these checkpoints
Try crossing anywhere on Milpas or Upper State
