The major design flaw is the person behind the wheel. Yes, this intersection is busy during the day. One option to a signal would be to squeeze the cart lanes 50 to 75 feet into the vehicle lanes prior to the intersection as is done on the major signaled intersections such as Bailey and St Charles. I would hate to think that might slow traffic down though. How that courtyard wall could be a contributing cause to "blow" a stop sign, well, the answer is above my prior pay grade.
