One major problem with both Connecticut and Wisconsin Aves is that there are crosswalks across 6 lanes of 35 mph traffic with nothing more than a couple of white lines and a yellow sign. It's dangerous for pedestrians and difficult for drivers (I spend a lot of time as both).

Even if you're not speeding, stopping in time for pedestrians becomes a real exercise in attention and diligence, particularly after dark. And even if you do stop, most pedestrians are understandably afraid to cross because there are still cars whizzing by on 5 other lanes.

I wish these crossings were at least given more visual prominence by having zebra stripes rather than just two parallel lines.
