Question: At pedestrian crossings why does the ‘green man’ time seem so short?
Answer:
The green man period is purely your invitation to cross at the crossing and is not meant to be long enough to complete the crossing manoeuvre. Depending on the type of crossing, time is given to allow you to clear before traffic gets a green. For example, the flashing green man at a pelican crossing gives ample time to clear.
