I am quite familiar with Roxborough. Henry Ave is a death trap for much of it's length but nowhere more than that area. How much blood does OTIS and Streets need to make changes to prioritize safety?

That said, it is crazy dangerous and everyone driving through the area should operates their vehicles with that in mind. Doing 45 or even 35 through that intersection is simply not safe, and vehicles are frequently going well faster than that.

Alternatively: don’t run across the street there just because you want a sandwich.

These are rarely people that walked the whole way. Most of them drove there and ran across the street because it was more convenient than finding parking.

I always obey the speed limit in that area specifically but it doesn’t stop dumbasses from casually strolling across the street. People driving too fast should be reprimanded but you’re a reckless idiot if you’re crossing that street on foot with no traffic controls.
