Seattle scofflaws Junction edition

[Seattle Scofflaws]

Ever noticed how dysfunctional the Alaska Junction is? Aside from off leash dogs and feces on the sidewalk, homeless people drinking alcohol in public, there are other violations every few minutes all day long. People turn left from California to Alaska despite the signs north and south which say no left turn 7 am – 7pm. People turn right on red even though each street light has a sign right next to it saying no right turn on red. People walk when it says do not walk.

The video I am attaching includes what I saw within 5 minutes around 11 AM on a weekday. First, you will see a black SUV turning right on red by Easy Street, a black Kia turning left where it is prohibited. The Kia eventually has to make their turn on a red, cutting off the white truck that now has a green arrow and the right of way. Finally a guy walking against the light. Seriously folks I saw all of this (and more that I didn’t record) in less than 5 minutes.

This area is so quick and easy to catch people behaving badly that I will likely post more videos soon. I have asked law enforcement and DOT several times over the years to enforce or improve this intersection. Haven’t seen any police presence or any changes from DOT. So, it’s time to throw some light on this problem. Take a look next time you are there and I bet you will see some violations.
