Benard Pelzer spends his afternoons shepherding children across the street.

 

 

 

 

But what was once a routine task has become a risky proposition as a lawless stretch of Rockaway roadway has turned into a perilous speedway, the crossing guard and several residents said.

 

 

 

 

The section of Rockaway Beach Blvd. between Beach 73rd and Beach 79th Sts. isn’t governed by any signs or traffic lights, leaving pedestrians to jog across the street as motorists far exceed the speed limit, residents said.

 

 

 

 

“I’m terrified myself when I’m out there,” said Pelzer, 56, who is stationed on Beach 79th St. “They speed down here like crazy.”
