‘Dangerous intersection’

Dear Editor:

I cross daily at  Wellington Road 124 (Main Street) and Wellington Road 52 in Erin and have come to realize how tricky this dangerous intersection can be for pedestrians. 

Guelph-bound drivers are looking for either a green light or an advanced green to get on with their west-bound journeys. East-bound drivers sometimes treat the right lane as a merge lane when their light is red. Drivers do not seem to be on the lookout for pedestrians.

It seems that Wellington County has done all they can to make this area safe for pedestrians. It seems to be a regular event in the GTA to have a pedestrian hit and killed by a vehicle. I hope that a tragedy like that does not happen here.

Dave Dorman,
