Description

This traffic signal does not seem to be timed properly. It creates a very dangerous situation to cars traveling east on Curlew who are about to make a right turn onto Alt 19 and cars traveling West on Curlew about to make a left turn onto Alt 19 as well as pedestrians crossing Alt 19 on the south cross walk.

This can be easily seen every morning between 7-8am.

Issues:
1. Walk light is activated on the south cross walk = East bound traffic has a "no right turn" light come on and this is great. But West bound traffic does not appear to have any light and continues to make a left hand turn.... I have seen multiple close calls where pedestrians and bicyclists almost got run over.

2. East bound traffic gets a green, right hand turn arrow but the west bound traffic continues to make a left hand turn and refuses to yield. This becomes dangerous as they are completely oblivious to the fact that not only do they normally have to yield but also to the fact that East bound traffic has a green turn arrow. As they follow each other -- it appears they are trying to beat the yellow light. This is a tough situation to resolve but it does create a dangerous situation as East bound traffic attempts to turn right while West bound traffic fails to yield especially with pedestrians standing on the sidewalks who just crossed the street or waiting for the next WALK light.

I bring this to your attention in hopes that something can be done about this intersection. Ether change the order/timing of the lights or more strict enforcement.

thank you for your attention to this safety matter.
