Simultaneous Green Light with Green Pedestrian Walk Signal

[Todd Russell]

Separating this out from the "Another Pedestrian Hit" thread. 

Below are two places that my wife recently identified where a green light fires at the same time as the green pedestrian walk signal. (Problematic because pedestrians start to cross on the crosswalk and turning car traffic turns onto the crosswalk at the same time)

• Turning off of High Street onto Park Ave. 

• Turning off of Preble Street Extension right onto Forest Ave

Not sure if this is consistent throughout the day but she noticed it happening on her driving routes to and from work.

I believe someone in the other thread suggested reporting this via SeeClickFix which we will do today. Just wanted to encourage others to do the same. 

Seems like a fairly easy issue for the city to fix if it is indeed their policy that all intersections are required to have a 5 second leading pedestrian interval.

Thx

Thanks Todd for separating this topic out. I emailed Jeremiah back in April about one that I go through daily with the same issue (Congress and Massachusetts) as I've been nearly hit so many times by cars rushing to make the unprotected left turn, but unfortunately got no response. I missed the SeeClickFix heads up, so will report it on there and hope it makes progress.

(My understanding from cruise ship stuff is that sometimes the number of SeeClickFix reports about a certain issue can help escalate it in terms of priority, so folks should not be afraid to submit SeeClickFix tickets about the same issue.)

Apparently it's in fact quite difficult to change a stoplight sequence in Portland, or so I'm told. A hobbit must show up bearing a Ring.
