    Totally agreed, and from the pedestrian side of things, civil engineering would be helpful too.

    Our roads are too fucking wide for pedestrians. Give me some pedestrian islands and raised crosswalks.

    I’m more interested in giving pedestrians a direct route that doesnt need to cross fast traffic.

    fixed timer that poorly syncs with some upstream lights

    This has gotta be the number one traffic issue in the US. Our timer lights are just garbage and we so rarely use sensor lights. Our traffic light setups always seem overcomplicated but not over engineered.

    Pedestrian signals are slow too. Have to wait a long time to get the WALK signal, and its rarely necessary as it’s already illegal to not let a pedestrian go at a crosswalk if you’re turning into it, in my state.
