Reply to comment by gravy_boot in With my (limited) knowledge of pedestrian safe infrastructure, I redrew what I think would be a much safer Arthur Ashe/ Broad St intersection! by Other_Ad39

Walking through some of DC’s circle is hell enough but they also take a long time to drive through.

I got trapped on DuPont once for 5 or 6 loops. I was finally able to exit, but not where I wanted. I just made my escape when I saw a chance.

This is true, but the alternative would likely be worse considering those intersections move a lot of people/cars, and wouldn't support the large central common areas. Broad/Boulevard may not be big enough for this, although it's bordered by things a lot of people wouldn't miss if they were gobbled up by an expansion...
