Folks ( including DC folks who get dropped off in the middle of the block!!!) cross in the middle of the road rather than wait for the light. I feel like I am playing frogger most nights! OH - and tourists cant read. They can figure out it says - TO CROSS PUSH BUTTON! I appreciate the buttons and the walks when they work! I wish we could think of a tunnel or a ped/bike bridge!

Also, the time or two I've driven through that intersection since its makeover, its been a seemingly longer slog with mis-timed lights that only let a handful of cars pass for each light cycle.

I don't mind that there is a crosswalk and a light to tell me not to drive thru like a maniac which I did when there was no light there and the way was cleared for me to go, regardless of pedestrians. I like to know when I have a right to go (and plow into tourists who choose to cross against the signal at their own risk esp when I am late for the game) or not to go. I think it is a respectful relationship when you have these boundaries. I am a driver that takes that turn to access the vball courts at rush hour.

Also, as someone who worked at Lincoln for 5 years - those crosswalk upgrades were sorely needed. That’s my primary District entrance and exit point and I haven’t had a problem there yet.
