While pedestrians are accommodated more efficiently and more safely, the intersection performance is worsened under this scenario, especially on the southbound approach (LOS C to E/F). Since pedestrians are restricted to crossing only the northbound and westbound approaches (with the northbound approach closed to vehicles), the need for an exclusive pedestrian phase is probably minimal, especially with the deterioration of the intersection efficiency using this design.
