    Due to bridge work on lakeshore just west of Long Branch transit station, traffic backs up during evening rushes (around 5pm). There is an unusually long space between the legal stop bar and the cross walk to allow buses to enter and leave. During rush hour drivers (a good dozen) end up stopped past the stop bar but before the crosswalk. None should have entered the intersection (green or red) if they can't clear the intersection but many do anyways. Stuck in the middle when the light turns red, many proceed even with pedestrians legally crossing at the light. Someone will be struck due to impatient/confused drivers. In a 10 minute period I witnessed about 20 traffic violations, raging drivers and cars failing to yield to pedestrians. The intersection either needs revised lighting/signage or traffic direction.
