Schoeder also said she's observed and confronted officers who are breaking the crosswalk law themselves in their University squad cars. She said she has called the University police department several times to report the issue but hasn't seen any action. But those who have the most authority in remedying the problem contend that they are unaware of Schoeder's plight. Patrolling of the area is then increased, she said. We solve the problem temporarily.
Police are aware of other problematic crosswalks on campus.
Those that cause the biggest problems for pedestrians, Listul said, are the one on Harvard Street Southeast between the Fairview University Medical Center and Centennial Hall and the one on Union Street Southeast between the Civil Engineering Building and Cooke Hall. The bright yellow sign there also has a blinking yellow light above it to alert drivers. Fifteen of those cars broke the crosswalk law. Some drivers even swerved to the wrong side of the road in order to avoid stopping. Two of the vehicles that drove through the crosswalk while pedestrians tried to cross were campus circulators.
