They call it a real-life version of the video game Frogger.
Dodging cars trying to safely cross the street is a daily challenge on Cleveland State University's campus.
New warning signs and flashing lights are now in place to better protect them, but some students at CSU tell us it's still not enough.
The amount of traffic on Chester Avenue and the speed at which it moves, especially at rush hour, creates a lot of concern.
It's one of the challenges of attending college in the center of a city - navigating through traffic to get around campus.
"Nobody stops for anybody. There's a lot of people speeding that's for sure," said Adam Faucett.
Students at Cleveland State University are sounding the alarm about their safety while trying to cross Chester Avenue.
"People are probably driving 45-50mph instead of the 25 mph on that road," said Olga Grech.
Fast moving traffic is just part of the issue.
"A lot of people like to blow the yellow lights and sometimes they blow the red lights, so that can be a problem," said Dylan Sell.
A popular crosswalk at East 19th was just enhanced to try and change drivers' habits behind the wheel.
"Cars will be more likely to stop seeing a blinking light than just a sign, people ignore that," said Grech.
While students are encouraged by the enhancements, some worry it's still not enough.
"It's good awareness, but how many people are really paying attention is what we have to take into account," said Nick Brisar.
The City of Cleveland changed up the signage at East 19th after receiving public safety complaints from CSU's Student Government Association.
"We're just trying to get home safe just as much as you are," said Brisar.
While they'd like to see more drivers stop for pedestrians in crosswalks along Chester, some students tell News 5 it’s more about easing up on the gas pedal.
"All the drivers need to slow down and go the actual speed limit, so it isn't like Frogger trying to cross that street," said Grech.
While drivers are getting a lot of blame, some students admit they're part of the problem. Grech told us she has run out into traffic to cross the street so she wouldn't be late for class.
It’s a two-way street as it appears more work needs to be done to improve pedestrian safety along Chester Avenue.
