Especially in the downtown area. That would probably be considered racial profiling if they did that though. LOL. With the exception of 4th Street Live, the hospital sector and the Yum Center you'll never me catch inside of the 264 loop after dark.
There were 11 folks killed last year in the Business District last year 1st and main, 2nd and main. There have been 18 killed this year so far.

The problem is not Jay Walking, the problem is ASSHOLES running they yellow, and running over people. That and the fact that vehicles turning on RED without even looking.

I used to see it every day, and believe me...........it is scary.

Cameras should be setup to take pics, and then tickets issued and sent to the offenders. If tickets are not paid, then BENCH WARRANTS should be issued......

Simple ....
