Letter: New West pedestrians need to pay attention

This driver says most pedestrians aren't paying attention out there.

Pedestrians need to pay attention, and police should be ticketing those who don't — that's this letter writer's take on New Westminster's current situation.

Crosswalk light counters are still way too short, and most pedestrians don't pay attention no matter what they see, or the colour of the red or yellow or green light, then they wonder why a car hits them or nearly hits them — no fault of the driver, including bicycle riders.

Where are the cops? Give them tickets to the max.
