Description

Both sets of cross walk signals turn on instantaneously which is problematic because pedestrians now assume they have the right of way as soon as they hit the button and start walking into the intersection without checking for cars or cyclist. I have witnessed multiple occasions where cars have slammed on their horns because people are careless.

Since people aren't capable of using common sense I suggest delaying the walk signal slightly so that the pedestrians have to wait 5 to 10 seconds before the lights are activated to let them cross.
