Some people have the illusion that you can solve ped safety problems by building more freeways. But sooner or later every car has to get off the freeway, and then you have this type of situation.
The off ramps could be improved by tightening up the curve so that cars have to slow down to make a sharp 90 degree turn. Slow cars are more likely to yield than fast cars, and are less likely to kill you if they hit you. That on ramp looks like it needs a signal to give the peds a car-free phase.
Same problem here in Las Vegas...Drivers here do not respect aanything...55MPH sign means IT'S OK TO GO 80 MPH. Changing lanes without blinkers and tail gaiting is SPORT...Las Vegas needs more HIGHWAY PATROLS , POLICE and TVman1981 to watch them.

@HawthornHeightsfan91 Traffic lights or 'yield to pedestrians in crosswalk' signs would be better, stop signs just waste fuel and increase emissions.

Try the finger...when someone doesn't stop,flip it to'em. When one stops to argue, proceed! Just a thought...

By the way, drivers when your not in your car and your walking - you are a pedestrian. Think about it.

Those are some of the most dangerous crosswalks, the ones crossing at freeway to surface arterials or vice versa. Good video.
