I wonder if that light is also cycled by traffic coming out of Pamlico. If so it wouldn't need someone to press a button.

4381 Lassiter At North Hills Ave Raleigh, NC 27609, USA - Six Forks Corridor

Drivers consistently run through this red light. I am with a group of mother's who work out with our kids in strollers at North Hills. 3 days a week we use this crosswalk and are almost plowed down every time. It is quite scary! The city could make a lot of revenue with a red light camera here!

Determining locations for SafeLight red light cameras is based solely on crash history. There is no crash history at this intersection which would advocate for placement of a SafeLight. Our Public Works department will look into more appropriate countermeasures to help increase compliance at the location. Closing issue in SeeClickFix.

Crosswalk Archived

2837 Wake Forest Rd Raleigh, NC - Six Forks

Why can't there be a crosswalk, with a signal, crossing Wake Forest Road, between the BP station and Costco? Why must people waiting for the bus along both sides of Wake Forest
cross all of the other sides of the intersection, before they get to the bus stop in front of McDonalds (if crossing from Costco)?

It's dangerous for a walker already...let's try to make it easier for them. They are jaywalking already. Paint the crosswalk and install crosswalk signs.

Mid- Block cross walk? with Island? like Blue Ridge road west of 440 Beltline.

The city is currently working with NCDOT to complete items necessary to the installation of a crosswalk, such as the addition of a wheelchair ramp in the southwest quadrant and a revised signal plan. The addition of the crosswalk across Wake Forest Road has already been coordinated with the NCDOT resurfacing project to allow room for the crosswalk to be installed.

The City Needs a Cross Walk Archived

2838-2898 Wake Forest Rd Raleigh, NC 27609, USA - Six Forks

I have seen two people at different times hit by a car here. I have seen 5 people cross the street here...and more people many other times. The City needs to put in the crosswalk here. I requested this a year or more ago. Now they are paving six forks at wake forest road. A great time to put in the crosswalk.

Pedestrians Routinely Not Using Crosswalks Archived

ዋከ ፎረስት መንገድ Raleigh, NC - Six Forks

I pass this intersection every morning on my way to work and it's only a matter of time before someone is really hurt. Pedestrians seem to completely ignore the crosswalks and routinely cross between cars within 30-50 feet of the actual crosswalks. This is a really busy intersection, especially at rush hour. This morning alone, I saw 6 different people cross in between cars when they could have easily used the crosswalks. One person actually walked right in front of my car while I was waiting to turn - there were at least 7 cars in front of me. I know we can't control what people are going to do, but I worry that someone will be hurt or killed at this intersection. There has to be something we can do.

I'll pass this on to the Public Works traffic management staff. This is a very difficult issue, as we try to make these big intersections as safe as possible to cross, but they are not very pedestrian-friendly. It is very difficult to monitor people's behavior when they cross outside the crosswalk. We have generally found that enforcing jaywalking ordinances is not very popular. Let me ask the traffic group what they think and I will update.

I'd like to add a pedestrian's prospective.

Throughout Raleigh, drivers regularly ignore pedestrian right-of-way laws, and fail to yield to pedestrian's who are crossing legally at intersections and crosswalks. This leads to pedestrians feeling very unsafe crossing many of the City's streets. Thus, if a pedestrian see's an opportunity that seems safe - such as when cars are backed-up at a red light, or there isn't much approaching traffic - there is a strong temptation to take the opportunity. Such an opportunity may not actually be safe, but then again even crossing at the intersection may not be safe due to red-light runners, turning traffic that fails to yield, cars at the red light stopping in the crosswalk, or the light changing too quickly to cross completely.

I am not defending the pedestrian's who treat crossing the street as a game of Frogger; I am defending those who are simply trying to cross the street in what they perceive to be the least risky manner.

To improve pedestrian safety, intersections must be designed to provide pedestrians a way to cross that is clearly safe. Otherwise, the issue of pedestrians crossing in alternative manners can't be justly addressed.

This is a very difficult intersection for pedestrians. Because of the volume of traffic and the width of the road is it tough to make it much better than it already is. Technicians are continuing to monitor the signal timing to make it as safe as possible.
