Description
This is an incredibly dangerous 5-way intersection for drivers and especially pedestrians. Five-way intersections are particularly dangerous because, without timed lights or a traffic circle, people don't know who's turning where, causing drivers to nearly miss each other and turn directly into pedestrians in the crosswalk. To add to the dangerous nature of this intersection, it is poorly lit, and crossing on foot or bike, feels extremely risky. There was a terrible accident here a couple years ago, and the area needs a serious redesign to avoid another tragedy.
