Sings of Spring!
A new law goes into effect - April 1st which will affect both motorists and pedestrians. Motorists, previously required to yield to pedestrians, will have to come to a full stop and remain stopped or risk $200 tickets (double the current fine) and two points on their licenses. They can also be subject to 15 days of community service and insurance surcharges. Pedestrians can be fined $54 for not obeying traffic signals.

The law applies to both marked and unmarked crosswalks, which the state traffic code designates as existing at the intersection of any two roadways.
With the advent of Spring and warmer weather - deer, turkeys, and other critters are also on the move. Remain alert!
