There are two cross-walks on Sportsman Club road to/from Sakai and Woodward schools. Apparently many drivers do not realize they are supposed to yield for people in the crosswalk. Additionally, the speed limit is not being respected.
This poses a distinct danger for students and parents gong to/from school.
While I do not have a sure-fire suggestion to solve this issue, perhaps increased police presence during school ingress/egress hours and signage explaining the legal obligation to "yield to pedestrians on sidewalks and in crosswalks" (http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=46.61.261) would help.
