    I don’t know if this has been proposed before: Crossing the street on the corner of Edmunds and California is often frustrating because of the 5 corners. You can wait for one light that gets you through one part and then wait an equally long time to get to the corner you want. One block up we have an all walk light for Alaska and California. Wouldn’t it make sense to have the same design for this corner? If you give pedestrians a chance to walk to the corner they want all at once, I think you’ll give more time for traffic flow. (and by the by, a high school friend once told me she called this system a “scramble light” because you get a green light and scramble to whatever corner you want).

    Makes sense to me. You should propose it to SDOT.

    I see your point but it will end up like California and Alaska where people cross when it’s not walk all ways with walk and drivers turning right on red when it’s prohibited. In addition to red light running snd illegal left turns, I have witnessed this happen for 20+ years and have asked for enforcement. SPD isn’t interested no matter the decade.
