Description

The intersection of 77th Ave SE and SE 27th St is the MOST FRUSTRATING intersection as a pedestrian AND a driver. None of the traffic lights are sensor automated - so you can sit in your car thru a very long red light when there is literally no cross traffic. As a pedestrian (which is what I mostly am), the crosswalks only show the white wall guy if you press the crosswalk button and it only works for one side of the street! And you can press it and still stand there thru all traffic lights and have to wait for two rounds of lights before you get the walk signal. ITS RIDICULOUS AND TOTALLY UN-PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY. Fix the damn lights. Give them sensors for cars. And make the crosswalk activation buttons actually work when you push them.
