You say it would not make things any worse and I disagree. If anything, it might codify how hostile parts of the US already are to pedestrians, with beg button

You say it would not make things any worse and I disagree.
If anything, it might codify how hostile parts of the US already are to pedestrians, with beg buttons that may or may not work properly. More efficient cycles with less gaps may give people even less time to dart across during a cycle where they may not have the green but there is no cross traffic.
- itishappy 2y agoIf traffic clears the intersection faster, you can have more efficient cycles without changing the cycle time. The effect would be larger, not smaller, gaps.
- bobthepanda 2y agoThat would assume that transportation departments in the US would step away from trying to boost car throughput at all costs. That’s their current MO; car travel is like a gas that expands to fit all available space.
