This is a serious safety issue for pedestrians. The intersection is directly next to a high school. The walk signs must be activated by pushing the button. Apparently, it is not cool for kids to push the button. Therefore a lot of them cross at the "Don't Walk" signal. I see a lot of kids caught in heavy traffic by the lights turning red. With the countdown timer, at least, you know how much time you have. I would suggest automatic "Walk" signs.
