I used to go to a college with a strip mall accross the street with a bunch of different stores plus a pizza place and a Rexall pharmacy/grocery store at the one end of the campus and basically a series of shopping complexes with all kinds of stuff including real grocery stores and such at the other. What I always thought was weird and annoying, considering how many students needed to cross every day, was that both lights were the longest lights I have ever waited for in my life on top of which, they had buttons as a placebo rather than actually functioning. I believe this is why people tended to jaywalk four lanes of traffic to cross, and, I imagine, why I’ve seen a police cruiser flick his lights on to run the light, presumably the cop had important business in the pizza place.
