Lawrence readers seek guidance on alley safety and signaling
Residents report alley drunks intimidate neighbors and police advise continued reporting when violations occur. The city cannot justify ignoring reports, per Sgt Susan Hadl, who notes officers may still respond if no violation is seen. Drivers must signal turns at least 100 feet before turning under traffic law. No Kansans listed as Winter Olympic athletes yet. Nagano 1998 adds curling snowboarding and women's hockey.
