Description
It’s a busy intersection with no left turn signals in some directions and right turn on red allowed. As a result cars are busy watching to see if they have an opening based on other cars, and don’t have the bandwidth to be paying attention to pedestrians. Additionally cars coming off the bay farm bridge are speeding on a curve and cannot see pedestrians early enough
