A pedestrian waits to cross Roosevelt Boulevard, in Philadelphia, Tuesday, April 19, 2022.

Driving can be dangerous with cars traversing between inner and outer lanes, but biking or walking on the boulevard can be even worse with some pedestrian crossings longer than a football field and taking four light cycles to cross.
