You wouldn't want Tom Brady to catch you speeding, right?
That's the message one Boston neighborhood is hoping for.
A teacher at Ellis Elementary School in Roxbury and the organization WalkBoston teamed up to embellish the pedestrian crossing signs as an attempt to draw drivers attention to the crosswalks, and remind them to slow down.
The yield to pedestrian sign in the crosswalk keeps getting hit on Walnut Ave outside the school. Maybe if Tom Brady is on the sign, people won’t sack him? #PutABradyOnIt pic.twitter.com/3hpTOThPHA

WalkBoston said the 'yield to pedestrian' sign on Walnut Ave. was hit multiple times - and the organization wanted to find a way to make it more noticeable.
