This section of road has very little/poor lighting and has been the scene of 4 FATAL automobile and pedestrian accidents in the past 2 1/2 years. Drivers can't see pedestrians and pedestrians are not wearing safe colored clothing. Something needs to be done about the speed of the cars traveling through here and the lack of lighting that would allow drivers to see the road and their surroundings better.

I believe DOT must monitor traffic speeds before lowering a speed limit. This road is designed for 55 MPH. If DOT lowers this limit, even if most cars are doing 55, then they must also do that in other areas such as Clinton Street from Daniels Road to Skidmore.
I agree that Speed is not the issue, pedestrians wearing dark clothes at night on a state highway is a problem, not the speed.

Let's face it, just about all of us relax quite a bit when we know that we are on a highway and there is unlikely to be anything impeding our progress. How many people drive 65 miles per hour or less on the Northway?
If we warn drivers that there may be pedestrians crossing, maybe put in a crosswalk or two with traffic signals, and increase the lighting in the area, most drivers will be responsible about their own speed and will be more alert for pedestrians crossing in front of them.
