I did not expect to see a pedestrian scramble in Steveston! Looks nice. Although kids didn't manage to cross in time.

Can the pedestrian signal at Green and Amory in #JamaicaPlain be updated to include an LPI or #PedestrianScramble @jfh ?

There are curb bump outs so you're squeezed into traffic when you have the same start time as drivers

Similar with the #PedestrianScramble. This style of control inserts a traffic light stage that stops _all_ cars at an intersection and gives right of way to all other modes, even to go diagonally. Much safer than having peds cross while cars are moving. But since it adds precious seconds to a driver's trip to add another light stage to the traffic control, we rarely use them. It's another way we “optimize” street use for driver time at the expense of everyone else's time and safety.
