A terrifying incident happened recently at the 600 East crossing in Kaysville, UT, that could have shattered lives. A car sped through the crosswalk, ignoring the two stop signs held by our diligent crossing guards, and nearly hit my child, two other children, and the crossing guards themselves. Such reckless negligence must not lead to tragedy in our community.

Our children deserve to walk safely to school without the looming threat of speeding vehicles. The crossing guards, our first line of defense, need additional support to ensure this safety. This incident is not isolated, but a symptom of a larger issue that requires urgent attention and action.

There are two tangible solutions to prevent future potential accidents at this busy crossing. First, we can request a regular police escort or supervision during school crossing hours to enforce traffic regulations and provide a safer environment for our children and crossing guards. Second, installing a traffic light at the 600 East crossing would offer a permanent solution, controlling the flow of traffic and ensuring vehicles come to complete stops before proceeding.

Immediate action can prevent irreversible consequences. Our community's safety is paramount, and measures need to be taken to reinforce this priority.

Please, take a moment to feel the urgency and necessity of this cause by signing the petition. Together, we can make 600 East a safer crossing for everyone.
