Unnecessary delay before light change
Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS3642806.
If a pedestrian presses the button they must wait for an unnecessarily long time before the lights change. Why? If the lights are going to change in order to allow pedestrians to cross why must the pedestrians wait for minutes before the lights change? I appreciate there may need to be a delay before a repeat request to cross can be made but the current delay is unnecessarily long and is resulting in pedestrians (often school children) making unsafe crossings if they do not wait for the lights to change. Please can the timings be updated to result in the lights changing 10 seconds after a pedestrian presses the button to cross this busy road?
