four crossings instead of two, not four instead of one. unless you're simply crossing the cross street, and not actually crossing the highway, which there isn't really any reason a pedestrian would do at that at that intersection. making two 36' crossings is a lot safer than a single 72' crossing. narrowing the crossing width is a good thing in intersection design, even if it takes a bit longer. 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.
