Description
If a pedestrian presses the cross walk button it changes the cycle to green for 30 seconds & red for 1 minute, instead of being green for 1 minute also. I guess the logic is the pedestrian doesn't have to wait a whole minute to cross. Well considering a lot of pedestrians cross there between 8:00-9:30AM, including me, the light is red significantly longer than green on a 6 lane road with the button frequently being pushed. It's causing a traffic nightmare & this is the slow season. This was just changed in June & by the next day traffic was backed up all the way to the beginning of McCarter Hwy. In September it will be backed up to Belleville once schools are back. Then once the Devils & Nets season comes around in Oct, night time will be just as bad. This is the intersection of McCarter Hwy & Bridge St in Newark & is causing quite the back up when you come into Newark from Rt.21 S.
