This has become an increasingly bad spot, that really needs some enforcement. People routinely come out of safeway headed west, and drive the wrong way into oncoming traffic. Cause they want to try and avoid having to wait at the light to make a left. I have seen it over and over. In and increasingly frequency the recent months.
I am not saying that is what happened here. But its becoming a real issue here.
I remember from my old high school driver’s Ed class, wait three seconds after the traffic light changes and one car length space for every ten mph.
I thought it was wait 1 minute because I’m busy looking at my phone and not paying attention to the light turning green.
