Description

The signal here gives pedestrians 15 seconds to cross what are effectively 7 lanes of traffic: 4 southbound lanes (incl. 1 parking lane) + 2 northbound lanes + 1 median strip. This is almost impossible for any but the fastest walkers (try it with small children), and seems unnecessary, particularly given how long it can take for lights to change at this intersection. Could this be changed?

Incidentally, this is true also for other intersections along State Street - e.g. State & Chapel, State & Grove.
