4 cop cars this morning. REALLY effective use of my tax dollars. I would think one cop car and one cop would work.

They were out there again this AM.

Since they appear serious in their efforts, maybe the county can take the next step and increase the time on the crosswalk signal. It's blinking red by the time you half way across the intersection.

10-15 minutes? It's 5, max.

Cops hanging out there (6-10 of them) certainly isn't cost effective. Besides, who's minding the roads?

Maybe they could build a walkway over OKM to help us out a little. It would cost as much to do that as it would to pay the police to stand out there 3 hours a day.

If we slugs have to walk 10-15 minutes out of our way, I propose moving the slug line to the other side of the road. The weather has been nice but when it is raining or 90 degree plus weather, walking an extran 15 minutes is not cool. Frogger or no frogger ;)

Yeah, salt might work. simply extending the medican 20 feet to close that hole would be better.

The funniest thing this morning, with 4 cops there some big pickup truck u-turned at the end of the barricade while two slugs were crossing. The cops stood there and waited for the slugs to come accross and give them warnings instead of going after the truck making the illegal U.

They don't need a barricade; just pour a line of salt and the little sluggies will have to go around it. [:D]

Friday be here!

I can't be certain but... my cousin's, sister's, boyfriend's, uncle claims to have heard the cop say "well, 238 more of these here tickets and we'll finally have enough to build that barricade..."

They actually cited someone around 6:30ish. The policeman jaywalked to the median to write the ticket.

Two Fairfax County Police cruisers were there at 6:15 this morning. Looks like they have gotten serious about jaywalking enforcement and saving a life there. A public safety salute to the Fairfax County Police!

There have been too many close calls at "Bob's" where jaywalking slugs almost got splatted on what colossus911 calls a "live 8-lane Frogger" game.

Now, let's see when a barricade will be constructed to force the jaywalkers to go to the crosswalk at the intersection.
