Honestly this is one of the better roads to prevent this, there is a sharp turn just before this intersection which forces people to slow down. Unfortunately that comes right after a slightly downhill straightaway so some hot shots do whip around the corner but for the most part it’s not too bad.

Any major changes to the road would likely make traffic much worse.

There is some thought that making Corinth St pedestrian only and making the rest of Belgrade Ave and South St a 2 way vs a 1 way would be beneficial to pedestrians but I’m not sure how it would play out traffic wise

Would you really call the turn from Belgrade to Corinth "sharp"? It looks quite gentle to me.

I don't think you'd need major changes; I can think of some minor ones. Narrow down that turn, with a truck apron of if that is problematic for trucks. Harden up the center line on Corinth street near the tip of that tringle to force slower turns. Raise the crossings in those slip turns.
