I think there should at least be a pedestrian crossing. I agree the intersection, for motor vehicles, isn’t really needed. But even with the allowed movements as they are the intersection is not designed to discourage the forbidden movements anywhere near as much as possible. So it’s really badly designed on multiple levels: allowed more movements than necessary, then didn’t design the intersection to exclude the other movements properly.
It would be pretty hilarious if part of the traffic “engineers” response to your suggestion was that it would be too far between pedestrian crossings, given what was built down near Traynor Ave.
Yeah, indeed. I haven’t said anything about pedestrian crossings. The traffic engineers probably would use them as justification, which is ironic given that the existence of the traffic signal almost certainly makes it less safe for peds to cross then a proper staged ped crossing alone would be. The LRT and BRT in Utrecht has them everywhere.
