- Karen Heim - Visiting From Wisconsin
00:32 we've been coming down here for years and its too far to walk way up there to cross and then the cars still don't care 00:39
PEOPLE CAN NOW CROSS WITH THE HELP OF A NEW FLASHING LIGHT SYSTEM.
- Leslie Farrell - Visiting From Ontario
03:07 people just aren't up to stopping for you right away and I think the light certainly helps because you can see it from a distance 03:14
THE LIGHTS -- ARE HARDER TO SEE DURING THE DAY BUT IT WASNT UNTIL IT STARTED TO GET DARK THAT DRIVERS BECAME MORE LAXED.
STANDUP - 19:19 so let's see if this really works. As a pedestrian all I have to do is hit this button, the lights start flashing and the cars? They're not stopping 19:28
OTHERS ARE SKEPTICAL THE LIGHTS WON'T MAKE DRIVERS STOP.
- Maryann Abel - Visiting From Ohio 14:10 - I don't know I mean you have to make sure they're going to stop, I'm not real sure you have to eye ball it, make sure they will stop 14:20
OTHERS ARE CONVINCED THE LIGHTS ARE THE ANSWER TO MAKING A DEADLY STRETCH OF ROAD -- SAFER.
- cover with broll
05:21 - I think it makes people more visible when they are crossing 05:25

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
FEW SHOWERS ON TUESDAY
Did you see all the cloud cover stream in on Monday? If so you probably thought it was going to rain at times. But it never did!
Different story for Tuesday.
A cold front is migrating to Southwest Florida from the Tennessee Valley, and it is bringing with it a chance for showers Tuesday afternoon. We noticed the changes beginning to occur on Monday as the cloud cover increased.
Tuesday the cloud cover will be a lot more dense, and eventually the rain will fall as we progress later into the day.
The ETA for the front will be anywhere from 2 to 6 PM Tuesday. Consequently that will be the best time to see rain. Right in time for the afternoon commute! So make sure you have the umbrellas and rain gear in hand. Oh, and make sure the windshield wipers are working properly. You'll need to use them at times.
With the front approaching, our lows on Tuesday will be fairly uncomfortable. It'll be humid, and the temperatures will range from 64 to 69 degrees. The cloud cover and rain will be in an abundance and that should be able to keep our highs from reaching 80 degrees.
After Tuesday cooler air arrives. Morning lows will be near 50 and daytime highs in the mid to upper 70s. It'll be dry and breezy, too, with winds sitting around 15 MPH.
The weekend looks perfect. Partly sunny skies and highs in the lower 80s.
