Looks like a pedestrian would have to cross 4 segments of road to just get across the street instead of one? The vid. sort of yadda yadda'd that part.

- Rebelgecko 9y agoThis style of intersection is somewhat popular in Utah. What often happens is that they replace the left turn lane with a uturn-only light a block or so down the road. If most people are making lefts that may not be a workable solution though

It's a fairly long walk for for a pedestrian to make, waiting for an extra light isn't going to make a significant change to the crossing length for a pedestrian.
