You're looking at that right by the way. THREE freeway ramps!! I walked this last week and it was genuinely terrifying. The first freeway ramp when coming from the bus stop has NO pedestrian lights or signals.

Also those of you with good eyes will notice that there is NO SIDEWALK south of the bus stop. None. If you want to walk south on that particular street (which is 5 lanes btw) then you have to cross the freeway to get to the other side of the road.

Very common. NYC, San Francisco, Seattle, and maybe a few other big cities are more pedestrian and public transit friendly, but most US cities are exactly like this. It's not uncommon to have to walk a couple of miles to a bus stop.
