			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking at bad sign placement, wouldn&#8217;t it be better for the Yield sign to be before the crosswalk?</p>
<div id="attachment_364" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 235px"><img class="size-full wp-image-364" title="Yield Sign" src="http://www.hamptonroadslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/p-640-480-7b3c2ba3-47e8-420c-9621-55e390c809bd.jpeg" alt="photo" width="225" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Turn from West bound Nimmo to North bound General Booth</p></div>
<p>This one is not that bad, because the cars are not coming around a blind corner, but the cars pretty much ignore the Crosswalk while stopping at the yield sign, of course the crosswalk is barely visible.</p>
<p> </p>
<hr />Looking at South bound General Booth, is a whole different story&#8230;</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>People are always hauling butt around this on, and usually ignore the yield sign, which is easy, considering it is 3 quarters of the way around the corner and pretty much hidden from view. </p>
<div id="attachment_364" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 235px"><img class="size-full wp-image-364" src="http://www.hamptonroadslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/p-640-480-c8589a92-8ee4-416f-a23b-ec524430612f.jpeg" alt="photo" width="225" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">As you can see the Yield sign is not visible at all from General Booth</p></div>
<p>Here you can see the yield sign, is well past the crosswalk.</p>
<div id="attachment_364" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://www.hamptonroadslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/p-640-480-274fbf26-b688-47f2-b057-097095f20bb2.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-364" src="http://www.hamptonroadslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/p-640-480-274fbf26-b688-47f2-b057-097095f20bb2.jpeg" alt="photo" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Crosswalk at General Booth and Nimmo</p></div>
<p>I think at least 2 of 3 things need to happen here, the yield sign needs to be moved up to the light pole, and/or add an Yield to pedestrians in Crosswalk sign added to the light pole, and/or a slow for pedestrians sign added before the turn itself.</p>
