Description
More signs need to alert motorists to yield to pedestrians crossing Western Blvd from Hunt Dr. Because motorists on Hunt can't turn right on red, they try to beat pedestrians when the light turns green and the pedestrian signal simultaneously changes to walk. Pedestrians have a limited amount of time to cross the expanse of Western Blvd, and that becomes even more limited if we have to wait for six cars to turn right first.

I agree with the assessment of this intersection...and the No Right On Red sign is ignored half the time by motorists turning East onto Western from Hunt! Dangerous for cars and pedestrians alike.
What I didn't realize until I drove back and double-checked was that the green turn arrows happen at the same time for a left from Western and a right from Hunt. The signage at the Western intersection does not state to yield on green arrow...only to yield on regular green. Needs to be updated.
