I don’t see beg buttons in Sydney that turn green mid-phase — where are these? You always have to wait for a complete phase (which can be shortened, with no traffic and no area phasing) before the pedestrian signal is allowed to turn green again.

The only partial exception is pedestrian-only crossings and then only if you are in the part of the phase where enough time still is available to return cars to green.

Are we documenting “silent walks”, where timing is flexibly maximised into whatever the car traffic is doing? They’re a tiny percentage overall, but on quiet t-junctions they can last hours in the dead of night. “Silent” because the accessibility sounds deactivate until the phase changes.
