Description
For people biking or walking, infrastructure ends abruptly and forces people to navigate fast moving traffic. The speed limit is 35 mph on Forest Hill but that's not enforced and there are very few disincentives to going too fast on this road. if there could be some kind of alternative infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians trying to navigate this intersection, it would be safer for everyone, drivers included. Left turns off Forest Hill by bike are especially dangerous.
