BENTONVILLE Heavy traffic on this city s Walton Avenue starts around 6:15 a.m. and roars on through 8:30 a.m. or so. A pedestrian crossing the street (with the aid of a crossing prompt and traffic light) is nevertheless furiously honked at by a guy trying to make a turn into where she s walking.
Critical violations are those factors leading to foodborne illness and must be corrected immediately. Noncritical violations relate to maintenance of food operations and cleanliness.
