Therein lies the rub: as near as I can tell all traffic lights are set on timers so it doesn’t matter if there’s traffic present they simply cycle the way they’re going to cycle and you, poor sod, are forced to wait regardless of the status of oncoming traffic. Do you think the pedestrian signal is measured so small to keep the U. of AZ students fit and hopping? As for the stick figure in peril…I’m shocked. We converted to the walking man and the big red hand years ago. And there’s nothing like that pedestrian countdown clock to tell those potential redlight runners just how long they have to get through the intersection.
