A traffic safety advocate known for painting unpermitted crosswalks across the city of Los Angeles is once again taking matters into his own hands.

Jonathan Hale and his group People’s Vision Zero painted a crosswalk at the intersection of Sycamore and Lexington avenues in Hollywood on Saturday morning.

Hale said he chooses where to paint based on information compiled by UC Berkeley researchers that looks at statewide collision data.

“We focus primarily on residential corners, where there is a four-way stop in the neighborhood,” Hale told NBC Los Angeles. “There’s curb cuts. It’s a clear place for people to cross. The idea is that we’re not adding anything. We’re not changing the law because a crosswalk already exists.”

Last December, Hale was arrested on suspicion of vandalism for painting a crosswalk at the intersection of Kelton and Wilkins avenues in Sawtelle.

NBCLA reached out to Mayor Karen Bass about citizen-led installation initiative. Her office shared the following statement:

“Mayor Bass believes that streets and sidewalks should be safe and accessible for all Angelenos, no matter how they travel. The City will continue to install crosswalks that comply with federal, state, and local regulations.

 “Just this week Mayor Bass announced a nearly $8 million investment into pedestrian and street safety along the Alameda and Spring St. corridors, made possible by her Capital Infrastructure Program. Protected bike lanes, new pedestrian crossings, improvements to curb ramps and street resurfacing will soon be available to our Downtown and Chinatown communities.

 “Mayor Bass is tackling L.A.’s aging infrastructure by creating the long-term planning that the city had lacked for decades.”

Hale said the Los Angeles Police Department did not show up while they painted on Saturday.
