The crash that happened at SE Tacoma and SE 16th in the stop group where the bicyclist did not presumably have a safe opportunity to cross the major street and thus took a risk is the type of crash that half-signals and signalized intersections are designed to prevent.
Table 34 shows bicycle crash results comparing half-signal and fully signalized groups.

The three crashes that occur at half-signalized intersections are the types of pedestrian crashes that the FHWA is concerned with in their Final Rule (16) where it is claimed that motorists on the minor road do not give adequate attention to pedestrians crossing the street. However, this type of crash is not exclusive to half-signals as the same type of crash happened at 39th and Francis at a minor stop controlled intersection.
It does appear that the signalization at half-signals reduces the possibility of what
appear to be more severe crashes along the major road. We do not have enough data to obtain statistically significant results on this hypothesis.
Crashes involving pedestrians at half-signals and the signalized control group are shown in Table 36.

In the signalized comparison group, all pedestrian crashes occurred as a vehicle was turning left from the minor street. The fully-signalized group does not have these types of crashes in this sample. There may be evidence that these left-turn from the minor street crashes are more of a risk at half-signalized intersections. However, there is not enough data to test this hypothesis and also caution that all of the observed crashes at half-signals in this sample occurred at two intersections.
