Walk-man on traffic lights

I had a close encounter of the vehicle kind today and that made me think of something. Why is it that in so many traffic lights, the walk sign doesn't show unless someone presses that button? If someone arrives at the lights after the lights change, even if they press the button, it won't change till the next cycle. Wouldn't it be easier to have the sign always show how many seconds are left for you to cross the road? That way someone won't put their own lives in danger thinking they have more time than they actually do.

PS. Apologies to the driver who yelled at me for crossing the road :)

  2. It's true. I don't think walking to school should be something that scares people.

    Crossing Prince Philip is pretty much terrifying.
