STRUCTURE
ON TOW OCCASIONS, WHILE MOVING AHEAD AT APPROX. 10 MPH, IN FRONT OF THE GROCERY STORE, AN INDIVIDUAL WAS CROSSING IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND THE POST BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE WINDSHIELD BEING SO WIDE, OBSTRUCTED THE VIEW OF HIM/HER CROSSING THE DRIVE LANE. MY WIFE WAS RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SHE WAS ABLE TO HIM/HER AND ALERTED ME, BECAUSE I COULD NOT DUE TO THE POST BEING SO WIDE. IT BLOCKED MY VIEW OF HIM. ANOTHER INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH A CAR PULLING OUT FROM THE RIGHT SIDE BEING PARTIALLY BLOCKED BY THE POST ON THE RIGHT. IT IS A HAZARDOUS DESIGN BLOCKING APPROX. 20% OF FORWARD VIEW ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.. UPDATED 08-27-12 *BF
