Poorly Maintained and Unmonitored Crosswalks

A national observational survey found that 9 out of 10 crosswalks within the vicinity of an elementary or middle school had at least one of four common hazards: crosswalks in poor condition or not present; drivers failed to stop, or stopped and made illegal turns; posted speed limits during school hours were 35 mph or more; and curb ramps were either outside the crosswalk or missing.
