Broken stop lights?

What's up with the blinking stop lights across from Domino's/Wing Works in Davis? It's been going on for over a week now - anyone know the story?

I have no idea, but I hope they stay like that for a long, long time. The pedestrian signals never work (I think I've seen it change once in nearly five years) and with the lights blinking like they are now, I can actually get across the street without risking my life!

I've had the opposite experience. I've almost gotten hit numerous times by people who come down
the little part of Summer street in front of the Rosebud, and make a left on to Cutter. The red light
at least slowed them down a little. I've seen numerous cars just blast through that left turn, not even
considering that there might be a pedestrian there. I've talked with a couple of other people who walk
that route regularly, and it's a miracle that there aren't more accidents.

The intersection where Elm turns right on to cutter looks like it has similar problems. I expect that people
are only going to start taking these intersections at higher speeds now, since there's even less slowing them
down.

I regularly approach that intersection from Mass Ave on Russell, and I find the blinking lights annoying and usually just plain dangerous, since it's blinking yellow on Elm and people don't seem to know what to do with that. I've seen people in front of me who apparently assumed it was an all-way stop situation. Bad news, nearly.
