Description

The signals are very short for a multilane road and anti-synchronized, ensuring that most people jaywalk rather than spend an entire light cycle waiting on the median between the traffic lanes. This is particularly encourage by the long periods in each cycle where traffic is blocked by an upstream signal which causes any people to start walking after seeing no traffic for a long period of time, just as the light finally changes and traffic starts moving
