In quiet spots its hardly needed anyway because there will be sufficient gaps in traffic to cross.
I think that depends on whether you have any impairments on your mobility such as disability, or being a older and not quite as quick on your toes as someone under the age of 60, or maybe walking along with a small child or pushing a pram. Fuck those people apparently.
And I'm confused by this notion of either quiet or busy. Maybe things have changed since I was last in London but near where I live traffic volumes don't suddenly shift from cul-de-sac in a residential neighbourhood at 3am and fast flowing dual carriageway during rush hour. There's quite a lot of space in between those two and I can easily think of many roads that fill them.

I really don't see how this will help at all.
In quiet spots its hardly needed anyway because there will be sufficient gaps in traffic to cross.
In busy spots the lights will constantly sense vehicles approaching so will remain red for pedestrians just as much as they do now. Any other setup on a busy road would never be allowed, because the traffic capacity would be severely compromised
What am I missing?
