Approximately 260 feet east of the crosswalk, there is a yellow pedestrian crossing sign, posted on the north shoulder of Fletcher Avenue. Approximately 157 feet east of the area of impact, there are white reflective roadway markings in both westbound lanes, indicating a pedestrian crossing. Approximately 44 feet east of the crosswalk, there is white, reflective stopbar across both westbound traffic lanes. Parallel with the east crosswalk line, on the north shoulder Fletcher Avenue as well as the center of the raised center median, there are poles with yellow pedestrian crossing signs, with arrows at the bottom of the signs, point down towards the crosswalk. The pole on the north shoulder, also has a bar extending from the top, over the westbound lanes. From the extended bar, near the center of the roadway, is another yellow pedestrian crossing sign. Below each of the three yellow pedestrian crossing signs, are push button activated flashing signal lights. Also attached to the extended bar is a yellow and white sign indicating “State Law Stop for Pedestrians”. The pole in the center of the median, also has a push button activated streetlight, which extends over the westbound lanes of Fletcher
