Yeah, that's not pretty, it really ought to be an overpass or a tunnel. Too bad, it looks like a nice trail otherwise.
I hate intersections that just invite drivers to barrel on through. I have to cross one going from my office to where I park my car. You get the walk signal when the other side goes green. Cars turning right are supposed to yield, but everyone just screeches around the corner at maximum speed. Even with the signal, you have to watch carefully over your shoulder, because any car coming may or may not let you go. I've have to dance back to the curb more than once when someone came tearing through.
