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

If I remember correctly there’s only a small Stop on Red sign next to the red lights on the cross beam. That doesn’t say enough.
