Description

The walk/cycle signal to cross Hampshire onto Inman Street is EXTREMELY short, especially considering that cars from Cambridge Street take some liberty with the yellow and cut off the first 3-5 second of the signal. There's usually about 7 second left when the cars clear, and I'm trying to get my family of 4 across to Inman St on bikes. Additionally, the fact that there is still a walk signal to cross Inman when the bikes have a green light into them leads to evil stares from pedestrians crossing Inman. Normally, I would just wait for the pedestrians, but I don't have time in this situation because the signal is too short. It's seems like there's about 10 more seconds before Springfield gets the green, so I don't understand why the signal to cross Hampshire isn't longer. Additionally, that walk signal across Inman is SO long that it seems to make sense to turn to a do not walk when the bikes have a green onto Inman.
