I agree with you about this, but have no faith that these changes will be made in any kind of reasonable time frame. There’s no reason they shouldn’t be, but I simply do not trust City staff to do it. The changes needed at this particular intersection seem modest to me by the standards of most cities, but beyond the possible for Hamilton with its current leadership and staff. Given that, all that is needed to ameliorate the specific problem of motorists turning left on the red (not all of the other issues the intersection has), is occasional enforcement or a slightly longer walk signal. That small action would improve a lot of people’s experience and safety.

Even that, the City of Hamilton won’t do. So I think proper design is really unlikely any time soon.
