Description

Pedestrian signal is not correctly programmed. The intersection is programmed with a phase with a four-way stop for cars, and the signal on the southeast corner (to cross 14th) turns to a walk signal, but the two pedestrian signals for crossing Canal continue to show a "don't walk" symbol. This confuses pedestrians, and many understandably instead try to cross Canal when they have a "walk" signal, which unfortunately means they often step in front of turning cars turning onto Canal from 14th.

    Nothing found at intersection. I walked the whole intersection the walks are working as they should. Drivers must yield to pedestrian.

    ntersection has an LPI (Lead Pedestrian Interval). The "all red function" is to give a few extra seconds to the pedestrian crossing 14th street due to the sight lines of the drivers making a double left turnonto SB 14th from Dock St. This was implemented per Traffic Engineering. Pedestrians crossing Dock st should not cross when the "dont walk" signal is up. They should wait for the "walk" signal.
