3. Working from left to right, a black minivan is waiting to turn left from a 4-lane side street onto a 7-lane urban stroad, but is pulled all the way into the crosswalk over the side street. A white SUV is making an illegal right on red from the stroad into the side street.
4. In the middle of the shot, just in front of the camera, a black SUV is creeping through an illegal right on red from the side street onto the stroad, blocking both crosswalks and the ADA ramp.
5. On the right, a black minivan waiting in the stroad's crosswalk for a permissive yellow arrow to turn left from the stroad onto the side street, blocking the crosswalk which currently has a walk sign.
