Houston man volunteers himself to be a crossing guard at one of the city's busiest intersections.
20-year-old Davonta Robbins spends his weekends and free time volunteering to help pedestrians cross at Montrose Boulevard and Westheimer Road.
"I try to do the best I can to make sure people cross the street safely," Robbins said.
"We mostly have a lot of speeders... there have been a lot of accidents. I do this just because so nobody else won't get hit."
Helping people cross the street is personal for Robbins.
In 2021, he was struck by a car that was fleeing from police. He was hospitalized for months with a shattered leg.
When he noticed danger at the Montrose intersection, he decided to step up and buy his own equipment to help pedestrians.
"I've had drivers stop and say 'Thank you,' because other than that, they would have hit the pedestrians."

There are 3 schools on this corridor. When 11th was 4 lanes, it wasn't safe to cross. The community got four pedestrian safety islands added. Now Whitmire and Gafrick want to remove them. @BlueLineBikeLab
Please take a moment to sign this petition as a measure of showing support, positivity, and LOVE for 11th Street after the safety improvements #ilove11th #houstonloves11th

Bad news friends. The MKT Bridge is closed again. Appears the recent heavy rain washed out some of the supports. Thank you to @emmanume and @cfparma16 for confirming. Let's give @houparksboard time to investigate and share updates.

Hey @HPARD, mind not breaking city ordinance and parking your vehicles in the bike lane?
Houston’s made it all the way up to the sixth percentile for large cities! Judging by drivers reaction to the 11th street makeover, I don’t see that going up much anytime soon without some serious grassroots advocacy.
