I would like to respond to Taj Ahmad’s letter to the editor, “Pedestrians Should Be More Alert When Crossing” (Suburban, Jan. 21).
Although pedestrians should stop and look before crossing the street, Mr. Ahmad failed to mention that by law, pedestrians have the right of way.
Drivers must stop to let pedestrians cross the street where there is a crosswalk. I have noticed many times that the drivers do not obey that rule and do not care about the pedestrians, especially the commuters, waiting to cross the street.
