The third should perhaps be modified to "should immediately be given a walk signal if there is enough time in the cycle".<br /><br />The problem with the third is that the timing of multiple intersections are often tied together to improve the flow of traffic. Ideally if you drive down a single street at the speed limit you'll be able to hit green lights for several lights in a row (or if you bike down a bicycle boulevard at a reasonable biking speed you'll hit several green lights in a row). If you start to add arbitrary timing delays to the cycle because of pedestrians then this can disrupt the flow of traffic.<br /><br />I'm not sure if you were accounting for this or not.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002177999540611160noreply@blogger.com
