Description

The signal timing at the Highland/Willow intersection is terrible for pedestrians. There's a dedicated pedestrian walk phase, but it is quite short, and takes a full cycle of the signal before it will activate. This makes crossing diagonally a 2+ minute process — no wonder everyone jaywalks here!

The signal should be changed so that the walk signals are on when the corresponding green is on. There's no reason to have a dedicated ped phase here.
