- Really poor signal timing on crosswalk at Northbound Harvard St & Verndale St intersection in Allston. As a cyclist, I’d make the yellow light going downhill, the cars would make it through quickly, but then the crosswalk would turn to Walk exactly as I was finishing crossing the far side of the intersection, and pedestrians just watching the crosswalk signal but not looking left would nearly walk straight into me. They look at me disgusted like I ran the red but I hadn’t! After seeing the pattern, I could anticipate pedestrians doing this and slowed down but if you’re just cruising along with that downhill momentum, making the yellow like you’re allowed to, and not familiar with that crosswalk timing, it’s a disaster waiting to happen. Please extend the yellow or add an “all red” pause.
