Letter: Las Vegas drivers refuse to give pedestrians a break

It serves no purpose because no cars will stop to let you through. And you take a chance crossing there even though legally a walkway means that you are able to cross to the opposite side.

But if you think cars will stop to let you go, forget it; it won't happen. Finally a nice man came to give me a hand, and a car finally stopped to let us go. So you can imagine that when he put on his brakes so we could cross, all those morons behind him blew their horns.

What that area needs is a crossover, such as they one they have in front of the hospital. There is a traffic light near Sears, and the next traffic light is on Twain. That is a long way to walk. I realize that this means money but isn't everything being done costly?
