I second this. People are speeding up anticipating getting on the freeway, it's an accident waiting to happen.

Adding a dimensional, highly visible outline to the mid-crosswalk refuge island (reflectors, short pylons) would also help bring attention to a space that is currently very difficult to see between dusk and dawn.

Hello, I have had to cross here many times due to the lack of sidewalk across the street. It is always a game of chicken. Pedestrians are unsure if the traffic is going to either stop or speed up for them. Plus, this being a highway entrance adds to the speeding element. One of my least favorite places to have to walk in Tukwila. Thank you for posting this.

Speed enforcement is significant missing element here as well. The speed limit for Interurban is too high (there is no no reason it shouldn't be 30 MPH from Ft Dent/I-405 to 42nd Ave S) and regularly exceeded. The city has invested in better crosswalks along this segment but what difference does that make if drivers hit 40 MPH or faster without consequence?
