Perhaps your signals are different, but in my area a "red walk sign" means "Do Not Walk".
Your comment to me sounds like you're talking about a white walk sign, which would in fact be mostly attributable to inattentive drivers.
But if the sign is red, then while driver inattentiveness may be involved, it's not the primary culprit.
