Here is the intersection location:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/4uxzNMZbAVDuyrsz5
This type of flashing yellow light does not require drivers to stop, it is just there for warning. My city has been spending (wasting) a huge chunk of its ped "safety" funds on this type of signal. It is a way to make it look like traffic engineers care about ped safety, without doing anything that would actually slow down cars.
Nothing scares me more then crossing a strode with these types of signalized lights. Even signalized intersections with more then 2 or more lanes of traffic scare the shit out of me.
This roadway is designed like a hwy and the flashing lights want it to be a street.
This crossway needs to be raised, the stopping point needs to be 2 car lengths back from the crossway. And potentially the roadway need to be shrunk down to one lane with a island in the center if the intention is to turn this strode back into a street.
That intersection looks like a nightmare for crossing on foot or bike. It's so flat and open cars are going to want to just gun it.
