The traffic signal at the intersection of La Brea and Franklin Avenues heading west in Hollywood has drivers and neighbors frustrated with how short it is.
People say it’s simply too quick and doesn’t stay green long enough to drive through or walk across safely. NBC4 timed it out, and it was only green for 8 seconds before turning yellow.
McCusker walks her dogs and also drives through the area, she tries to avoid the signal whenever possible.“Basically this corner right here is the worst,” said Todd Roberts who lives in Hollywood right next to the signal, “I just see cars and cars waiting and that will cause worse routes on other streets rather than allowing traffic to kind of disperse."
This Hollywood intersection is near several popular walking trails. Not only is it difficult to drive through, it’s also a hassle for people trying to walk across. NBC4 checked out another signal on Franklin Avenue down a few blocks near North Orange Drive to see if this was a common issue. That light stayed green for about 90 seconds -- that’s nearly 11 times longer than the one on Franklin and La Brea Avenues. Also, from what neighbors tell us, that one seems to be the only one causing a problem with how quickly it changes.
