JFK Blvd and Montgomery St – Unsafe to Pedestrians?
Green area is the intersection of JFK Blvd and Montgomery St, Jersey City. Map.
The intersection of JFK Boulevard and Montgomery Street is wide. Montgomery Street is 4-way road, as is JFK. It is a busy corner as there are couple of left turns that make it tough to cross the intersection.
As a pedestrian, I would avoid this spot and choose a safer location if I want to cross street.
As a driver, I would slow down when I approach this area. I mentioned in this post that I am a defensive driver. I’ll be honest, I am scared of this spot because of its sneaky curve. If one is not careful, he will accidentally hit a parked car, or worse, a pedestrian.
Last Saturday at around 10:40PM, a Bayonne man – Robert H. Sullivan Jr. – was hit by a car when he crossed the street. The driver of the 2006 Mazda Sedan said he “didn’t see Sullivan running across Kennedy Boulevard until it was too late.” (Sullivan is being treated at JC Medical Center when I read the news)
Coincidence?
How about you? Have you tried crossing this intersection? How do you feel when you drive around this area?
