Description
The crosswalk at Oberlin and Cameron Streets is very dangerous. Because there is no left arrow turning from Oberlin on to Cameron, cars often turn when the light is red. Cars also often drive straight through red lights. And drivers typically do not look for pedestrians before turning right from Cameron to Oberlin. I even watched a York Property van nearly run over a pedestrian while the Walk sign was on.

The second time happened today with a car turning right. We were crossing the street in front of her car when she started driving into us. My husband was directly in front of the car and had to hop with it with his hands on the hood! The woman was not even looking for pedestrians, just waiting for her chance to turn right on red.
I hate walking around Cameron Village. People drive way too fast through it and around it and making turns into streets or parking lots without looking for us because traffic is so heavy there now so they are focused on traffic and not pedestrians.
Can't we at least have some signs like the comment from Jonathan? Maybe traffic calming devices.

SUGGESTION: how about using the same methods & signage at Oberlin & Clark as are deployed at Western Boulevard and Avent Ferry Road (next to NCSU)? At Western/Avent Ferry, there are yield to pedestrian signs AND a no-left-turn off Avent Ferry, with a $250 penalty posted.
CHEAPER SUGGESTION: Post those yield-to-pedestrian sign
