There is a pedestrian walkway before the actual intersection of Belcrest and East West Highway, but there is less than a 5% chance that cars will actually stop on any given day. There is a sign posted and claims, in the Gazette, that this is monitored, but I have never seen any officers around. <BR></P>

started flashing. There were 4-5 cars pulled off to the side getting
tickets when Alan drove past....
