This New Pedestrian Crossing Sign Lasted One Day Before Getting Hit

Last updated on November 14, 2018

Pedestrian crossing signs aren’t often long for this world. They’re thrown out onto the streets practically waiting to get hit. So goes the story of a pedestrian crossing sign at Lamartine and Mozart streets.

Jamaica Plain resident @pawlbologna tweeted about his personal experience with the intersection, including getting hit in 2017. He shared the challenge of getting the city to put up a new pedestrian crossing sign after a previous sign was hit and unusable.

Just recently a new sign was put up — then hit and knocked down within one day.

After the sign was hit and knocked down within its first day on the job, @pawlbologna made a keen observation. The intersection’s crosswalk needs to be changed permanently to make it safer.
