I don't remember Sydney as particularly pedestrian-hostile, i.e. having to wait for extended time unt turns green. I do remember Edinburgh as very pedestrian hostile: At nearly every interesection pedestrians had to wait for a felt eternity. (Both observations pre pandemic.) Instead of anecdotal data cities should be obliged to publish statistical waiting times according to a standadized model.
