Driver Can't Wait To Make Left Turn Onto Oxton!

Here's a note from Richard, a local Oxton-Oriole neighborhood resident..

He writes...

Hello fellow petitioners as an fyi and caution I'd like you all to be aware of an incident that happend to me on Monday night.

Coming home from work I was walking from the subway...I was nearly hit (the irony)!

There was southbound traffic [on Oriole] although somewhat sporadic. As one car was waiting to turn left onto Oxton a second car just behind this first became impatient because he was taking too long...realizing this was my opportunity of a "gap" I decided to cross Oxton...

...as I was taking my third step across this second car decided to make the left turn before the first car. He of course didn't think he was at blame and decided to honk his horn at me...

This unfortunately probably isn't the first time this has happend but something to be very, very weary of: There is no end to the Hunting Season on Oriole Parkway!
