Description
Please add a Pedestrian "Walk" signal or a "Yield to Pedestrians in Crosswalk" Sign at the corner of Temple and Grove Streets. Currently, there is a large number of vehicles that turn right onto Grove Street from Temple St. during the morning rush. However, this traffic typically will not yield to pedestrians crossing Grove Street on a green light. It is quite dangerous as a pedestrian, because the turning cars are in your blind spot, so you cannot see whether anyone is coming while you are crossing the road. I have been repeatedly cut off by fast-moving cars turning in front of me when I am in the middle of the crosswalk.

I completely agree with this suggestion! In my first week living in this city, about three years ago, I was crossing this intersection and a New Haven Police car cut me off. He then pulled over honking at me because I had the gall to cross the Grove from Temple when I had the right of way. I could not believe this actually happened.
With that said, good luck getting the city to actually do anything since even the NHPD seems hellbent on running pedestrians over at this intersection.
