I agree about the waste of space and the seemingly bad design, but there's one thing I like about this: drivers have to use the crosswalk to get to their car, on (I suppose) busy streets. That's something far too uncommon (at least here in France) because car owners are always put first, and could raise much needed awareness. I want drivers to feel the insecurity surrounding cars so they might have a more responsible driving.
