That is not an intersection for the self-absorbed or
obtuse.  I witnessed a near mauling of a jogger on the
machinery row corner of that intersection.  The cars
heading north on John Nolan and turning east (right)
onto Williamson will usually have a right turn arrow
that does not correspond with cars heading straight
north.  If you go against the walk light (when it says
"Don't Walk") at that corner, a pedestrian needs to be
extremely careful that vehicles are not zipping toward
you and legally turning right - because they have the
green arrow.  Often, drivers of vehicles that are
waiting to head north will change their minds and
suddenly get into the right turn lane to take
advantage of the arrow and head east on Willy.

Sure enough, one morning this middle aged jogger saw
that the cars heading north were stopped for the red
light and he briskly jogged right in front of this
right turning semi.  The semi stopped with about 3
feet to spare between him and mid-life-crisis-jogger. 
The jogger behaved the same way as the bicyclist you
saw, like nothing happened.
