The wait time is pretty much the same length at every light because they go in a cycle. I go through it all the time and I don't find the wait intolerable. Anybody who just can't stand it can walk east a bit down Highland and use the no-light crosswalk.

But even if the wait was ten minutes, it wouldn't excuse walking blithely in front of traffic. Or the one that gets me even worse -- pushing your baby in a stroller in front of oncoming traffic. Makes me want to scream.
