That’s my daily hell. I walk to work and there’s a 6 lane road to cross. The signal works as designed, but that means cars are turning right in green while I’m crossing. And with big wide corners, they’re going around the bend at 35+ mph.
It would be so much safer to do a pedestrian scramble. There aren’t a lot of pedestrians at this intersection, maybe one every 4-5 cycles, so it’s not going to slow traffic much if at all to have a 30-45second dedicated time where we can walk all the way across.
