I can't believe that crossing
I can't believe that crossing relies on a yield to pedestrians sign.
Unsignalized crosswalk with bus stops
Looks like a terrible place to cross, even though legal and perhaps necessary.
Why don't they install a full
Why don't they install a full traffic light, which would change right away when the rare pedestrian pushes a button?
In the past, they could have installed a simple pedestrian overpass or undercrossing, but wheelchair access requirements mean it can't get built today without using a lot of money and space for ramps. So we're left with a dangerous crosswalk, or in many locations, a fence and no physical way to get across for miles.
