August 2017 - Town of Middleton installs crosswalk flags at four locations.  From the Town's website:

Crosswalk Flags – See and Be Seen

The Town of Middleton has joined many other communities across Nova Scotia by installing crosswalk flags at designed marked crosswalks within the Town. The flags are fluorescent orange designed to provide high visibility to pedestrians.

Flags have been installed at these locations with the intent to increase the coverage annually. The initial locations are located at the following crosswalks:

Intersections of:

• Marshall & Commercial
• King & Main
• Main & Taylor
• Duke & Main

The Town and RCMP advise that both pedestrians and drivers have a shared responsibility to ensure the safe passage of individuals across any roadway. The purpose of these flags is to provide high visibility for a pedestrian crossing a marked crosswalk but must be used in conjunction with the shared responsibility of ensuring that drivers stop and the pedestrian is confident that it is safe to cross the road.

The philosophy of “SEE AND BE SEEN” is the cornerstone of pedestrian safety.

Read the Hants Journal coverage of the installation of crosswalk flags in Windsor, Nova Scotia

http://www.hantsjournal.ca/News/Local/2015-10-30/article-4326411/Busy-Windsor-intersection-receives-orange-flags-for-pedestrian-safety/1

The 200th crosswalk flag installation took place on Pleasant Street at Old Ferry Road in the neighbourhood Tristin Brown grew up.  Three installations in loving memory of three teenagers - Tristin, Kaitlyn Murray and Mary-Beth Chaulk - have additional decals and crosswalk flag messages expressing memory of these lives lost far too young.

In their memory please slow down, put the phones away and be attentive both when driving and when crossing in a crosswalk. 

Thanks to the generosity of Sue Murray, mother of Kaitlyn, then 14 when she was struck and killed crossing Pleasant Street at Arthur Street in 2007, crosswalk flags have now been installed at this location in her loving memory in order to provide greater safety for other pedestrians.

Crosswalk flags return to Pleasant Street at Marvin Street in Dartmouth, these in loving memory of Tristin Brown, a 17 year-old teenager who grew up in the area.  Tristin was struck and killed while crossing a marked crosswalk in St. John's Newfoundland.  Tristin's mother Kim has generously supported the Crosswalk Safety Society of Nova Scotia, allowing us to return crosswalk flags to this location. 

Steve and Sheila Burgess use the crosswalk flags installed at the very busy location across Young Street at Isleville Street.  During installation two drivers expressed their appreciation.

The pedestrians of south-end of Halifax at Tower and Gorsebrook now have another tool to increase their visibility when crossing.

Crosswalk flags provide great reflectivity at night along the wide and busy Lacewood Drive, Halifax.

Through the initiative of Mike and Sue Lewis and the support / funding by Councillor Russell Walker the marked crosswalk at Lacewood Drive and Gateway Road is now more visible with the installation of crosswalk flags.

The nearby Dartmouth Child Development Centre inquired about crosswalk flags at Boland Road and Cairn Street, Dartmouth. Killam Properties stepped forward to provide the funding.  A day after installation we received this nice email

"Thank you very much for installing the flags on Boland Rd and Cairn St.  Myself and 4 children cross there daily.  Maybe now people will actually slow down.  Thank you again from myself and my happy little flag flyers."

Thanks to the persistent efforts of Jan Archibald and other nearby residents Crichton Avenue at Lakeside Terrace now has crosswalk flags to make crossing a busy road safer.

Sadly it took a vehicle-pedestrian collision at this location for a local resident to request crosswalk flags, which he did within two hours of the collision. But we can only look forward and now there is an additional safety tool to increase the visibility of the crosswalk and provide pedestrians the opportunity to increase their visibility through the use of the crosswalk flags.

Crossing is now safer for residents of Sackville Manor, including Peter who was nice enough to stop by and chat while the crosswalk flags were being installed.

Just around the corner from Glendale and Raymond Councillor Craig has also funded crosswalk flags across busy Metropolitan Avenue.

Crossing Glendale Drive, Lower Sackville near Sackville High School just became safer with the installation of crosswalk flags thanks to Mary Marson and funding from Councillor Craig.

A particularly dangerous crosswalk, due to the hill and the higher speed limits immediately before is now safer due to the installation of crosswalk flags.  It was very gratifying that while installing a nearby homeowner took the time to come out and thank us for what we are doing.

This installation completes all four along Woodland Avenue, all thanks to the support and funding of Councillor Austin.

Thanks to Oxford Properties stepping forward to fund crosswalk flags across from the Highfield Transit Terminal and the monitoring by Vel Oakes Highfield Park Drive now has its second set of crosswalk flags.

And yet another set of crosswalk flags on Woodland Avenue, making the entry to Dartmouth that much safer.

As the sun sets the reflectivity of the crosswalk flags improve visibility.  These are at Portland Street and Jersey Drive in Dartmouth at the crosswalk where Mary-Beth Chaulk tragically lost her life.  Her mother, Tina Chaulk is strong supporter of the crosswalk flag program.  These crosswalk flags will be monitored by Society Vice-President and board member Matt Spurway and were funded through a donation of Roger and Anna Campbell of Oakville, Ontario.

In spite of it being a less than ideal snowy day the crosswalk flags were installed at King Street and Ochterloney Street, just up from Ma Belle's Café who requested, are funding and monitoring the crosswalk flags at this location.

Nearby resident asked (and volunteered to monitor the location); Sam Austin got involved and agreed to fund the location and now students can more safely cross to catch their bus in the morning (and others can more safely cross at all times).  Community cooperation.

Crosswalk flags in use immediately after being installed on Micmac Boulevard near Woodland Avenue.

Safer Dal students (and others) due to crosswalk flags on South Street across from Dalplex.  Thanks Sherry!.

Crosswalk Safety Society Board member Scott Guthrie installing crosswalk flags at Kearney Lake Road and Wedgewood Avenue.

The proper use of a crosswalk flag, ALWAYS being attentive and NEVER stepping in front of a vehicle until you are sure it will yield.  Carrying a crosswalk flag does NOT guarantee the driver is paying attention and will yield.  ... be Cautious ... be Seen ... be Safe

Due to the persistence of local resident Brian Perry HRM installed a marked crosswalk on Starboard Drive where the Fleetview Trail crosses, adjacent to a small park and a bus stop.  Brian then went a further step in requesting crosswalk flags that Councillor Tim Outhit once again generously funded.  The area is now safer as a result of these efforts and support.

Crosswalk flags now at Briarwood Drive in Eastern Passage, adjacent to those just down the street at Hornes Road.

Within minutes of being installed the crosswalk flags were used to cross Cow Bay Road.

Flamingo Drive and Starling Street, a perfect location for crosswalk flags due to the hill down Flamingo and the curve in the road just before reaching Starling.

Thanks to the generous support of Councillor Walker this marked crosswalk on Rosedale Avenue provides greater visibility for students of nearby Burton Ettinger school and all pedestrians.
