A new crosswalk is being added at the north side of the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and Avondale Street in downtown Bethesda. The new crosswalk also has ADA-compliant ramps and a pedestrian-activated horizontal flashing signal to alert oncoming drivers. You're still taking a greater risk using this than crossing at a signaled intersection, so remain alert and don't presume traffic will stop.
Walked across it yesterday and vehicles did NOT want to stop for me heading Northbound, but Southbound cars paid more attention, slowed down to acknowledge, waved respectfully at me while yielding.
