Every time when I have to cross 4th street either on Market or Broad Street in Chattanooga, I wonder what the person in charge was thinking. I am physically quite fit and walk at a good clip, but it is virtually impossible for me to even get across halfway (barely 2 lanes out of 4) when the pedestrian "walk" light turns to red again. That means the average overweight person will barely get across 1 out of the 4 lanes.
Who is in charge of those traffic lights? Or more importantly, has that person ever tried to cross the 4th Street Autobahn there?
Colin Kinton used to be one of the Chattanooga traffic engineers. Maybe he is to blame.
