Pedestrian crossings, how is it that 1 person pressing the button is able to stop 40 cars -20 in each direction, ticking over then accelerating away then stop again because 10 seconds later 1 more person has pressed the button- so now its 60 cars. Also the person is halfway down the street when we get the green light.
Whats needed is smart crossings that monitor how many people are there and only stop traffic once a certain number of people are there and can "see" when the person has crossed and so can let the traffic go sooner.

Or just replace it with a pelican crossing? The ones with a flashing yellow light that you only have to stop for when there's somebody waiting and can go as soon as they're clear
