Description

As nobody is usually crossing the freeway ramp, the walk signal should stay on don't walk most of the time. Walk should only be activated when the button is pushed by a pedestrian.

Overall bridge design is poor based on obtuse angles that eliminate the ability to make a right turn on red.

I actually endured this traffic light sequence from the other direction at 9 a.m. the other day. I was exiting Interstate 90 westbound, wanting to make a left on Bishop. I sat through the complete cycle including two 10 second periods when no cars traveled through the intersection on Bishop.

Once enough time has been wasted the Walk/Don't Walk light begins flashes 15 times (15 seconds) before changing to don't walk, enabling the light to change and not endanger pedestrians.

There are buttons at the crossing points that allow pedestrians to request the right of way to change, why the highway designers and Wickilffe officials who set up this intersection refuse to rely on the walkers to be smart enough to utilize them is unfortunate.
