Road design, safety and Vision Zero

[SammyOES]

I didn’t get a great look but it was a car turning left onto Albert that looked like it had slammed on their brakes. Possible that they didn’t look to their right well enough and just assumed everyone was stopped/stopping since the light was red and were then surprised by the dude who ran the light.

I don’t entirely understand the signalized crossing comment. Is it just the stop sign on Seagram that keeps it from being a normal intersection? Or what would change to make it a full signal intersection?

My straightforward (naive?) view is that it’s just an intersection and I’ve always treated it as one. Not sure I’ve ever turned right on red there (or right at all to be honest), but I wouldn’t really have given it an extra thought besides the distance making me hesitate due to lack of visibility.

Anyway, this seems like a place where safety could be easily improved with just a few signs. And ultimately just converted to a full intersection (imo). Maybe even with a pedestrian only crossing time given the high level of pedestrians that can occur.
