Prince Edward County says the new pedestrian crossover in Bloomfield has been activated.
The new crossing is located on the west side of the Corey Street and Bloomfield Main Street intersection.
The County offered the following reminders to pedestrians, motorists, and cyclists about how the crossing works.
Pedestrians
- Activate the signal lights
- Make eye contact with motorists and cyclists and indicate you want to cross before entering the pedestrian crossover

- Cyclists who want to use the pedestrian crossover must dismount and walk their bike across; it’s the law
