4th & Mission has a lot of pedestrian traffic, yet the traffic signals do not offer an all-way-walk. There are usually a number of cars waiting to turn right from Mission onto 4th St, and many people "in the know" resort to doing an illegal right turn around the other cars turning right, because otherwise one green might only allow a few cars to turn right.
The funny thing is that the next two intersections down 4th, at Howard and Folsom streets, both have all-way-walk cycles in their signals, even though they have typically much lower pedestrian loads. (Although at Howard it can be quite crazy during a convention.)
Solution: incorporate all-way-walk into the traffic signals, blocking peds when 4th st. traffic gets a green, so that cars actually get a chance to turn right.
