I'm not sure crosswalk signals have to work this way. Take the intersection of Church/Whitney and Grove in New Haven. It's got its problems, but each one-way street at that busy intersection gets a walk signal when the other street is going. Then there's an all-walk after each street has had its turn. Without trivializing what it would take, I'm pretty confident the Hawthorne St. pedestrian signal could be reprogrammed.

True, the signals in New Haven allow you to cross a street that's one-way into the intersection when it has the red. If pedestrians are supposed to obey the signals they have to make sense.

While the issue I first filed this for has not changed (and so I'm leaving the ticket open), the responsiveness of the system is much better. Now, when I walk on a Saturday morning, say, to do some errands, I press the crossing request button and pretty quickly it does change. However, it's not fair for me to stop the traffic on Whitney just so I can cross Hawthorne. This is not the biggest problem in the world, but it does matter to me.
