The green man is intended as a sign that it's safe to _begin_ crossing the road - at least in the UK. You'll notice that the man changes away from Green long before the light sequence. That's intended.

In various places the green man will start to blink when there is seconds left before it changes over.

Doesn't really matter. The takeaway is that the light timings don't have to change. You would just make the man stop being green earlier.
