I am a little confused by this account. The pedestrian appeared to have been hit crossing W St. W St is one-way west to east and 15th St is one-way south to north at the intersection. The driver must have been turning right onto W from 15th St or New Hampshire Ave, driving straight from west to east on W, or making a left-ish turn from Florida Ave onto W. I appreciate your post, nonetheless. My wife and I were trying to figure out what had happened. The police were less than forthcoming and unintentionally made it sound as if something more sinister had happened through vague statements(at this point there was only blood on the ground). You are right that it is a very dangerous and confusing intersection for drivers and pedestrians alike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095284393772305956.post-90641004800316960912009-06-01T12:35:47.316-04:002009-06-01T12:35:47.316-04:00seems like a good time to bring up this idea from ...seems like a good time to bring up <A HREF="http://www.monumentality.net/?p=154" REL="nofollow">this idea from monumentality</A>. would the slowing of traffic in a circle, as well as the shorter distances that a pedestrian would be exposed to traffic, have helped in this situation?<br /><br />i'd say a tentative "yes" here.IMGophhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10389077782536090328noreply@blogger.com
