Oh hey I recognize that street and that guy. He's a free-stater nutjob who has at least one criminal investigation against him
I mean he has a blue check so he's a professional idiot
What's with the assumption that the pedestrian getting to their destination is less important than all the drivers? If a bunch of people get held up a long time for a smaller number of people, blame the city planners.
Oh you mean like a bus full of people sitting behind a 1995 camary?
Yeah, if the busses are used a lot they should get their own lanes and other special considerations.
As long as I'm adding another comment, I should mention that it's usually not the city planners fault. It's interest groups leaning on elected officials to lean on the city planners, who would design safe and efficient cities if left to their own devices.
Making ~100 cars wait ~30 secs
bud ask me if i give a fuck.
That's a 6 lane road. You must be perpetually on steroids to think that would be normal.
Yet again, the convenience of the car comes before the health and safety of the general public.
Can we keep the infantile engagement/rage bait off of this site? Be better y'all
I would make every car on earth wait indefinitely if you gave me the power. People would die, sure, but so many more would be saved.
I always assumed the button is just for mashing to soothe angry monkeys, it doesn't actually change the light, does it? That's madness.
I think it probably depends on the city and maybe even the intersection. Here, when they're working (not a given) you get a walk signal (whereas if you don't push the button it stays a solid do not cross hand). Additionally, the length of the green light is potentially extended to allow enough time for pedestrians to cross.
There's even one intersection here on a road with designated and flimsy bollard separated bike route where I can be approaching on my bike in the bike lane and it notices me and turns the light green for me which is super cool.
It certainly doesn't cause the lights for the cars to change at the intersection at the corner of my apartment. It rarely ever even gives the pedestrian the little dude on the screen instead of the big orange hand.

Utilitarianism is a tricky philosophy, it's got a lot of sharp edges like this.
"Jeremy Kauffman is an American entrepreneur and political activist known for founding and leading the blockchain-based filesharing project LBRY. He is also a vocal supporter and activist within the Free State Project (FSP), a movement designed to get libertarians to move to New Hampshire. Kauffman was the Libertarian nominee in the 2022 United States Senate election in New Hampshire, losing to Democrat Maggie Hassan. He was elected the chair of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire in 2026. Kauffman has been known for his provocative statements on Twitter that have been deemed violent, racist, and antisemitic. His legal troubles include misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and obstruction of government administration stemming from an incident where he allegedly tried to fight several people while hurling racist insults."
Full explanation only 6 words in.
Damn so he is serious. Mental.
I mean... It's only 6 fucking lanes. This guy looked old enough to know what Frogger is, ffs. Frogger pedestrian rules should replace tax funded schooling of children. Only those who can cross streets without annoying drivers should survive.
