Sounds like a feature, not a bug - you'd better slow down quite a bit to make navigating that situation safe and make sure you aren't exceeding the safe speed for that intersection.
In the kind of dense urban areas where raised crosswalks have the most potential to make a difference in safety just by virtue of the raw number of people who use those street features, pretty much every improvement in some way contributes to lowering and moderating motor vehicle speed.
- Rapzid 8y agoTokyo is pretty darn dense and the normal, legal speed of traffic in most areas with crowded crosswalks exceeds speed bump speeds. City and traffic planners are sure to be concerned with increased congestion and reduced road throughput by adding speed bumps to intersections that are already in the most congested spots.. I disagree that making it less safe to navigate intersections at currently observed speeds is a good way forward. I also believe that if speed reduction is a identified goal there are ways to accomplish this without making navigation at current speeds more dangerous; such as psychological speed bumps.

Such as dedicated bike lanes that are divided from the rest of the road, raised sidewalks and other methods of traffic control that keep different classes of traffic from interacting? /s
