It only increases pedestrian wait time for pedestrians who have to cross in one direction. If they want to reach the diagonally opposite corner it is significantly more convenient, as there is both less waiting and less walking.Vehicle capacity isn't really reduced since there is a benefit where turns can be made without having to wait for pedestrians to cross- people who may end up waiting multiple cycles in line for a right turn would be able to complete in one, for example. And I will say that the intersections I have seen this usually run out of cars before the cycle changes - the NYC one I am thinking of is the one by the Northern Blvd IND station. |
