The yield to pedestrian sign on Florida Avenue is barely hanging on.
(stereojam)
It’s difficult for drivers along Florida Avenue in Northwest to give the right-of-way to on-foot pedestrians if they can barely make out the sign telling them to do so.
A weathered sign instructing drivers to yield to pedestrians has been “destroyed by traffic,” according to Griper stereojam who reported it to The Daily Gripe. It precedes a crosswalk at 39 Florida Ave. NW in the Bloomingdale neighborhood. It is faded in several places, the letter “P” is completely missing from the word “Stop,” plus, the battered sign is leaning precariously.
John Lisle, a spokesman for the District Department of Transportation, said that he would submit a request for the fix.
Somehow the sign survived the high winds and tornado warnings that came through the area last week. But we’re not sure if the sign, which is hanging on by little more than a single rusty nail, would survive an accidental tap by a passing car.
