The Problem at Queen and Kent

I’m not convinced that there is a problem here… Cars waiting for the light to turn green (even though they may be able to turn right on a red light) do have the ability to turn right. There is an advanced green arrow for folks making a left turn, but also a green light for those who want to go straight or turn right. One of the problems with turning the light green for cars and signalling a walk at the same time is that often both the cars and the pedestrians surge forward at the same time. This can lead to a pedestrian being injured. Signalling that the pedestrians should wait a few seconds longer, make is slightly safer to cross.

Is this the place to talk about other problems? Like Allen and Mt Edward… Heading east on Allen you will get a left turn arrow then the yellow then the green. Heading west you will get the same thing, except that the light is not equipped with a left turn arrow. So you will get red, red, red, yellow! green. I have a problem with traffic lights. More specifically the laws about them. If there is nobody around it is illegal to run a red light. This is in conflict with the presumption of liberty. Right?
