Friendswood Jr High new crosswalk and Pedestrian Warning signage
Just south of the Friendswood Junior High school along Falcon Ridge Blvd two new "Pedestrian
Warning" signs were installed to accommodate a newly painted crosswalk.
Due to some striping projects going on around the city, the Friendswood Junior High school has
received a new painted crosswalk. This crosswalk stretches across Falcon Ridge Blvd, directly
ahead of Arbury Hill Ln. To accompany this new crosswalk the city has installed two pedestrian
warning signs to provide both visual signage as well as support to the new stripping. This signage
is recommended to alert road users of locations where shared use of the roadway by pedestrians
may occur.
Ordinance 300 should be amended to reflect the installation of two new pedestrian warning signs
in order to support the police department in enforcing it.
