The point of the 3 second delay (or whatever you choose) is to give
drivers some advanced warning, from the presence of the waiting
pedestrian, that the signals might change soon.

Mark,
I take on board points 2 & 3 but can't understand point 1. It is
difficult to get people to walk when the green man and audio appear
without them first watching that vehicle slow to an stop. I cannot
believe people would 'press and go'. If a delay was introduced, are
they not just as likely to walk as soon as they see the vehicle amber
under the same argument?
