Quite a few places in the Washington area don't have traffic signals but do have lots of traffic. I'd like to point out two such spots that could use extra attention.
One is 22nd and I streets NW, where George Washington University's Ambulatory Care Center is opposite the vacant former GWU hospital site. A parking garage is on the southwest corner; opposite the Ambulatory Care Center, a townhouse is on the same lot as GWU's Benjamin Rome Hall academic building.
The second place lacking a traffic signal is North Moore Street and Wilson Boulevard in Rosslyn, near the closed Tom Sarris Orleans House restaurant. This is near the Rosslyn Metro station.

Dear Dr. Gridlock:
I live near Landmark Mall. From North Ripley Street in West Alexandria to Old Town Alexandria, Duke Street is fraught with dangerous pedestrian behavior.
