Hi! There's a new traffic pattern at 9th St. and Manila Ave. Tonight, walking across Manila on a GREEN pedestrian light, I noticed that traffic turning right onto Manilla from 9th Street ALSO has a green at the same time. Cars understandably seem a little peeved having to stop as I walk across, but we both have a green light.
It seems like there is potential for a car to continue through on the green without stopping and hitting a pedestrian who is crossing Manilla on their (simultaneous) green. Please see my image taken Feb 3rd to get an idea.
Since it's a revamped intersection, I figured it's worth flagging ASAP since it's not very safe. There is no obvious indication or flashing "yield to pedestrian" light here for cars who are driving legally through a green light. Thanks for checking this out.

+1 to this request, very good points.
I do like the improved design, considering the benefits of congestion and people trying to skip the Holland tunnel line. However, if there is something that can be done to remove this slip lane, it would be much appreciated.
I have seen cars speed down this street to catch the light, and they don't have to slow down because this slip lane allows them to dart right onto Marin Blvd. If they had to slow down (by removing the slip lane and forcing them to make a regular right turn), or there was some speed bumps that made them slow down, I think it would increase the safety of the intersection.

Tons of backed up traffic while we wait for peds to cross, when they should just have their own light, and the cars can move through easier with their own light.

I just sent this to the director of Traffic Engineering and she will review since this is a dangerous situation that might have an easy fix.
