People jaywalk here often because the distance between traffic lights is from Parkdale to Reid (about 4 city blocks apart). The traffic light at Reid also gives a lot of priority to Queenston traffic. I have waited up to 60 seconds for the light to change whilst trying to cross at Reid. There is a strip mall right about where this man was trying to cross along with a Bank of Montreal and a strip mall closer to Parkdale with a Little Caesars in it. I suspect that people often cross here instead of Parkdale or Reid to get to these strip malls and the bank.

To make matters worse, drivers often gun it between Parkdale and the RHVP if they have a green at Reid. Even the B-Line bus often bullets across from Parkdale all the way until about Potruff Road.
