As well as older and disabled people, people escorting children need plenty of time to cross.

And the pedestrians are in a weak position (nobody want to take the risk to cross a street and to be hit by a fast car !).
I think pedestrians should by protected, on the contrary, and have priority because they are not polluting and make streets lively, not cars.

It is absolutely crucial that sufficient time is allowed to cross roads; after all not everybody walks at the same pace. We as a society must become more pedestrian-friendly. I feel we are low in the pecking order, when one considers the mostly selfish nature of motorists and cyclists. I say no to countdown crossings!

Otherwise, pedestrians in a hurry will take risks and casualties could increase.

I do have a car but regard myself as less important when I am in it then when I am not. Can we please have more- not less- consideration for people on foot?

We do not want more new confusing and unfriendly signals.
Rather go back to the original green man signalling.

I don't think crossing times should be reduced - this could have serious implications for less able-bodied members of the community.
