Walk signals can really help out if you have the option. On my way to/from work I have to cross FM2499 (5 lanes south, 4 north) and I can never get that light to trigger (overhead camera one). There is a school nearby so there is one crosswalk that crosses the north side. When I trigger it after a minute or four the darn thing shuts down 2499 long enough for me to go north on 2499 1/8th of a mile then take a left on a sidestreet and I'm almost out of sight before I see cars moving again.
Sometimes I feel bad about doing it but those people are driving a good 60-70mph and think they are on a highway so I need as much time to clear the road as I could get.
