It's a very busy junction.
Busy junctions are slow to navigate.
This really helps improve the balance. The narrow fueling at busy junctions like that are horrible and dangerous especially if you say were in a wheel chair or had a walking stick, allowing people to spread out more improves this.
The issue with people crossing when the man is red is annoying but so is everything. I wonder if in the uk we have a longer red man lag between no traffic going and no pedestrians walking. It seems that some countries have a lot quicker swap over so people know red man means no because the traffic is about to go. This may however be me looking at crossings and traffic systems I am not familiar with and thinking the traffic lights change quicker abroad
