    If you want to do a left turn across this intersection on foot or a bicycle, you’ll wait at 8 traffic lights, surrounded by 2 dozen lanes full of cars with their engines running, on a football-field sized slab of asphalt with no shade and no grade separation.

    Best bring a filter mask, a bottle of water and a hi-viz vest if you want to make it across.

      It’s not that bad. There’s a perfect lil square in the middle, probably place for a playground. (/s)

        The designer of this intersection type actually touted that island as a place where you can “beautify” the intersection with a sculpture of landscaping. Lmao
