Intersection of N University and Thayer:
Yesterday, there was a car parked (no driver present) in the crosswalk crossing N U in front of Panera. There are frequently vehicles parking or standing here. This is an obvious problem for pedestrians, but it also appears to confuse drivers.
Drivers turning from Thayer to go west on N U sometimes have trouble figuring out where the traffic lane is -- even mistaking the parking lane for it. They focus on finding the traffic lane, and forget to look for pedestrians in the crosswalk. Also, vehicles parked inappropriately make it difficult for drivers and pedestrians to see each other.
I have had to scamper out of the way of several drivers who did not see me in the crosswalk. Bus drivers tell me they have also seen near misses.
This intersection is much worse than it was before last summer's changes. Can you find a way to make it safer?
