Description

The traffic lights at this intersection are twisted. Currently there are two vehicle lights facing the same direction with opposite signals (one is red and one is green, but both are facing Newton St. cars on an angle, as well as northbound 16th St. drivers).
Most importantly, from the pedestrian walkway the walk signal is completely NOT visible. Note that this is a major crossing for 3 local elementary schools, one of which is ON Newton St. In the attached photograph, you'll see that the two lights are facing the same direction, one is red and one is green. And from the angle of the pedestrian walkway, no walk signal is visible.
