Issues: Burnaby programs crossing signals poorly

It's so cheap and easy to fix. Just default the crossing signal to on along major bike routes. As I already said in    • Issues: Unreasonable wait times for cyclists  , there's no good reason not to do this. And it's not just Burnaby. Richmond and probably many other municipalities do this too. I haven't noticed it in Vancouver though, but it has fewer MUPs. The result of the current setup is that most cyclists will often ignore the signal because it's so unreasonable (maybe not in the second example, but certainly in the first, and at other locations along the route like Smith Ave, etc.). Unless someone else presses the button before you get there, you're guaranteed to need to stop and wait. Whereas drivers on an equivalent arterial car route typically have, at each intersection, a 50+% chance that they can speed through a green light. At the second location, if you're going along Kensington Ave then you only need the first of the three crosswalks (plus an un-signalized slip lane), but the main problem of waiting a full light cycle just to do the first crossing remains. This is one reason why the new Burnaby Lake overpass just to the east of here is so good. The city can't do a poor job with crossing signals because there are no crossing signals there.
