The stoplight at the intersection of 28th Ave NW and NW Market St is currently for pedestrians trying to cross Market Street. That is about to change. The Seattle Department of Transportation is currently upgrading this pedestrian signal to a full traffic signal.
“This location meets the criteria for a new traffic signal because of the high volume of traffic, collision history, the distance to the next signalized intersection as well as nearby bus stops,” SDOT states on their blog.
It will take a total of four weeks to complete this project and get the signal up and running. (Thanks everyone for your emails!)
