I currently live off Morse Rd and I can't even walk thru the community. Even if I'm at a crosswalk and I have the walking signal, drivers attempting to make a right hand turn always almost hit me. It's as if they don't care about the pedestrian who has the right to walk. Drivers always stop inside the crosswalk, yet they are never sited. My suggestions are the police now needs to enforce the road laws.
