Obviously maintenance needs to happen. What's not so obvious is that maintenance should push pedestrians off of pedestrian overpasses onto crosswalks where the traffic regularly exceeds 60mph. Yes, I know the speed limit is 35mph, and I also know that people - on a daily basis - not only speed excessively, but do it on the wrong side of the road.

I don't know why enforcement on this road is nil, nor do I know why people drive like they do (okay, I can guess). I do know that this is terrifying, and ‪@NationalParkService‬ could actually come up with an easy solution for people to retain access to the C&O Canal while using the pedestrian overpass at Lock 5.
