It's very confusing for everyone involved.
I think the only solution now is to have a traffic officer at that light during the busiest times.
They had traffic people there during the busy season. This was their cost savings alternative.
Just add a green light that goes to yellow before pedestrians cross and red while crossing. A regular traffic signal. It’s not rocket science
