Description
From the bicyclist point of view, this signal light is also an issue. After Pressing the call button, it can take several minutes to change. Meanwhile, there is often no car traffic because either or both adjacent signal intersections are red (580 @ Countryside, 580 @ the Mall). Half the time, a bicyclist will cross against the light because there is no traffic and it’s been a long wait, or perhaps the signal never registered that the call button was pushed. Thanks.

The signal was checked and found to be operating as programmed. This intersection is running TBC (time based coordination) so depending on when the button gets pushed will depend on the wait time for the pedestrian. This time can vary depending on time of day, the coordination pattern, and when the pedestrian pushes the button in the coordination pattern.
