There is at least a five second delay between the traffic light for Castro Street traffic turning red and the Market Street pedestrian signal changing to "walk."
This is the kind of specifics that matter. I know streets where ther is little if any time from when one light goes red til the other goes green and others like this.
5 seconds is forever. enough time for a fairly slow semi that entered jsut as it went red to completely clear an intersection.
