It may seem tempting to cross mid-block, or walk or stand in the rapidway lanes, but drivers aren\u2019t expecting to see you there.<\/p>\n<p>Getting to and from the hospital from across Davis has always been a challenge, so the intersection in front of Southlake provides an additional way to cross safely. Crossing near the hospital without using the crosswalk is particularly risky, because drivers coming over the hill may not be able to stop quickly.<\/p>\n<p>The next important thing to remember is to press the walk button on the corner of the intersection \u2013 the walk signal only happens if you press the button. If you need a little extra time to cross, you can stop in the middle at Parkside\/Longford, Main Street or Southlake and press the walk button again to cross the second half of the road.<\/p>\n<p>With spacious, tree-lined sidewalks and tree planters acting as a buffer between traffic and pedestrians, the new sidewalks on Davis Drive are a safe and attractive place to be. It\u2019s getting dark earlier this time of year though, and soon we\u2019ll see snow falling on roads and sidewalks. It\u2019s important to stay alert and make sure drivers see you as you cross the street on your commute, and as you shop and dine along Davis this season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viva is rolling on Davis Drive and drivers are getting used to new traffic movements, so if you\u2019re walking, it\u2019s important to be aware of everything that\u2019s happening when you cross the street.
