Three years ago at Benson and A St, a van struck me as the driver made the illegal right turn as I rode through the crosswalk. There are three signs at this intersection clearly stating “No Right Turn On Red”. Yet drivers often still run the red light. I’ve had at least two other close calls at the same spot since my accident. So you can imagine my delight last week, when I got to witness APD pull over a SUV that had just run the light! Now, don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t gleeful that a driver got busted (well, ok, maybe a little gleeful). I was just happy to see APD recognize the driver had not only broken the law, but potentially could have put me in danger. I wrote a letter to the editor thanking APD and also sent it to APD in case the Daily News didn’t print it. I was contacted by a seargent who told me that he would mention to the officers to keep an eye on Benson and A St.  So guess what I saw the next afternoon, on my afternoon commute home at the same place? Yep, that’s right! APD pulling over another driver after they had run the light too! So A Big Thank You to APD for watching over this tricky crosswalk!
