Deskripsyon
The ramp off of Tilden at this intersection makes crossing this intersection a lot less kid friendly. There is no pedestrian light here and no light for the traffic using this off ramp, but you have to cross it to reach the little island where a pedestrian can actually signal for a crossing light. Likewise when crossing Tilden on Broadway heading toward Buena Vista, a pedestrian could reasonably assume they have the right of way to safely cross this little section as well, but in reality cars might not be looking for them - especially if they are short children. Eventhough it's only 5 blocks from my house to my son's Aikido class - a distance he regularly walks on his own in Alameda - I can't let him go on his own because of this interesection and the one at Broadway and Clement (which is listed separately as an issue as well).
