Description
This intersection is too large to not have at least flashing pedestrian lights if not a full traffic light. Hundreds of kids bike to school through this intersection each day and lots of people go through heading to the ferry. No one ever knows when it’s their turn to proceed, and the intersection is so large that it’s difficult to always assess if the way is clear of traffic or pedestrians. I have had all of the below options happen here (speeding, unsafe crossing, near miss while walking driving and biking).
