Description
At approximately 3pm (and no later than 3:02pm) today (Saturday, 2/17/24), a black pickup truck approached the red light at this intersection heading West on Perkins. The driver decided they did not want to wait at that light and made a last minute turn heading north onto Chestnut St at a high rate of speed through the pedestrian crosswalk. They proceeded to immediately cross the median and make an illegal U-turn heading south on Chestnut St and back West on Perkins to avoid the light. This was a moot point as the light had already changed and the driver ended up gaining at most one spot in line. I recognize that these incidents happen quite frequently in this city. I am reporting this only because there is a traffic camera that is attached to a blue emergency phone at the entrance to Jamaica Pond that should have captured this incident. Please, please forward this to someone who can identify and ticket this individual. This sort of eggregious behavior unnecessarily puts everyone else on the road at risk. Thanks. | Case (SR) Type: [BPD: Traffic/Parking] Referred To: [POLICE: AREA E-13]
