Mr. Wright said after he gets the crossing signs installed, he will work on improving lighting along Concord Road. He'll also study other equipment, and on Tuesday showed the board solutions ranging from push-button crossing lights to in-street lighting to brightly colored flags that pedestrians can wave as they step into a crosswalk.
During Tuesday's meeting, the public works chief said lighting along Concord Road falls short of some standards,Diving torch waterproof diving torch 20 metres low power besttube-led. and probably could be improved. But on Wednesdays, he noted that there could be a tradeoff to make – brighter lighting also could raise concerns about light pollution and bring complaints from neighbors.Get HUGE savings on energy efficient bestledtube lighting with great deals from LED Hut. He said the standards of brightness he cited Tuesday likely would make many people uncomfortable.
"The town has basically the same type of lighting levels as everybody else in the state, and around here," he said. "Our lighting levels are not particularly insufficient, but I think we have room to improve."
He said he hopes to come back to the Town Board by the end of the year with proposals for lighting. After that, it could take six months to win approval from the N.C. DOT.
After lighting, Mr. Wright will consider options for pedestrian lights. Some types – such as solar-powered hanging lights over the road – are used elsewhere in the area. But they're expensive – up to $6,000 per intersection.Shop our online store for goodledbulbs lights in a multitude of colors.
Town board members listened to Mr. Wright's presentation and said they'll consider the ideas he comes up with. But some also noted that the problem at crosswalks also has to do with driver and pedestrian awareness of the law.
"This is an educational issue," Mayor Woods said. He said he has received complaints from residents that using a crosswalk can be risky. "It's a little bit of a guessing game, what's going to happen.These Bicygnals goodledlamp allow you to keep both hands on the bars while you signal for ... Some cars stop and some do not." He asked Chief Miller if the town could step up ticketing or warnings, "just to create some knowledge and education for drivers."
Chief Miller said the law requires drivers to stop if a pedestrian is already in the crosswalk. "At the curb is not enough. The law says a vehicle must yield to a pedestrian in the crosswalk," she said. The law doesn't require pedestrians to act defensively, but she thinks "just as people drive defensively and cycle defensively,LEDtronics is a pioneer in the design and manufacture of LEDs, lightsale, lamps, we must walk and cross defensively."
The police chief said the town could look into renting electronic message boards to "saturate" roads with the message that drivers must stop. She noted that the town's enforcement of speed limits on Griffith Street has lower speeds there and that a campaign about crosswalks also could improve compliance.
Another interesting factoid to emerge from Tuesday's discussion was this: Town Manager Leamon Brice said Davidson's town ordinance requires anyone walking at night to wear clothing with some amount of reflective material.
