BUT this particular intersection really tries me.
It's on my new walking route to drop my son at daycare, and several other parents similarly tote their kids across throughout the day. These are workaround streets used by commuters to avoid the really gnarly traffic on the main road out of New Haven.
It's important here to know that most New Haven intersections have a dedicated pedestrian cycle, in both directions, when all the vehicle lights are red. This particular intersection, like many in the city, has a no turn on red sign at that right turn we're looking at.
You can see that many drivers speed around the turn after the light has turned red, when the pedestrian signal is on, and in fact when a pedestrian (me!) is approaching. In this instance, while filming, I did not have my son with me, but I often do.
A new school in the area has generated many more trips than before, both vehicular and pedestrian (and at least one bicycle w/trailer). This is a collision waiting to happen. This intersection needs a dual traffic calming and enforcement plan to prevent tragedy - especially in light of the rising number of ped deaths nationwide.
There are plenty of intersections in New Haven that have similar issues. But this is the one that I'm ferrying my toddler across daily, so it's the one I'm focusing on for now.
