It’s a busy intersection with no left turn signals and right turn on red allowed. As a result cars are busy watching to see if they have an opening based on other cars, and don’t have the bandwidth to be paying attention to pedestrians

Thank you for reporting your concerns about street safety in Alameda. Your report will help inform the City of Alameda’s work to achieve our Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries. We will use street safety reports, including yours, in combination with crash data and equity indicators to prioritize and design street safety investments. This evaluation will generally happen on an annual basis, with some exceptions for clear and pressing trends. Issues that the City deems to be immediate safety concerns will be elevated for quick action.
Caltrans manages this intersection as part of CA Hwy 61. Community members reported that Caltrans recently added protected left turns (a left-turn arrow) at this light, which should make the intersection safer for all road users.
