There is no need for a delayed green light for oncoming traffic at the Morris Ave./Ridgedale Ave. intersection. Traffic going west at that light is very light, not warranting a delay. More importantly, the delayed green confuses some drivers, because pedestrians are not allowed to walk across Ridgedale until the green arrow is gone. Drivers making a left turn onto Ridgedale don't look for the pedestrians, and drivers making a free right turn onto Morris Ave can't figure out why the pedestrian isn't crossing Ridgedale when the oncoming traffic clearly has the right of way.

Plus some pedestrians don't understand the delayed green and walk anyhow, even when the sign clearly says "don't walk."

Eliminate the delayed green and confusion will be greatly dissipated. Traffic coming down from Ford Avenue is so light the delayed green is really unwarranted.

BTW, the "Don't walk" part of the pedestrian light has been broken for months.
