It&#8217;s ongoing.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CBS News Miami cameras recorded five drivers rolling through the intersection without stopping Monday morning. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just aggravating,&#8221; Miami Gardens resident Mamon Tisol said. &#8220;They do it all the time. That&#8217;s an everyday thing.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tisol, who has lived in Miami Gardens for 30 years, is visually impaired and uses a cane to cross Northwest 12th Avenue to catch the bus. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m feeling scared,&#8221; Tisol said. &#8220;Drivers can see better than me and they don&#8217;t see the sign says stop? I&#8217;m gonna be 70 next month. I want to see my birthday.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tisol said he has complained to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/miami\/tag\/miami-gardens-police\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Miami Gardens Police Department<\/a> at least seven times over the past five months. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Miami Gardens police did not respond to CBS News Miami&#8217;s requests for comment. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Police do occasionally send patrols to the area, according to Tisol, but residents say drivers often resume ignoring the stop signs once officers leave. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In April, Tisol urged city council members to take action.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Speed bumps need to go up for safety reasons,&#8221; he told council. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Until city leaders implement a solution, Tisol said crossing Northwest 12th Avenue remains a daily fear. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Residents in Miami Gardens say drivers routinely ignore stop signs at Northwest 12th Avenue and Northwest 170th Terrace,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":275634,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,2431,23276,125,124,729],"class_list":["post-275633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-gardens","tag-miami-gardens-police","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-traffic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=275633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/275634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=275633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=275633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=275633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
