This looks like exclusive phasing and it's despicable when it's at every damn intersection.

I like exclusive phasing when there's a high volume of pedestrians crossing in all directions. However it's horrible on stroads because it's done under the pretense of pedestrian security while being mainly to maintain a heavy flow of cars in as much directions as possible. And it makes waiting longer.

It's one of my pet peeve when I visit Quebec city. All of their fucking pedestrian crossings are exclusive phasing, and I loathe it. It's nice and useful in the the old town, but it becomes so annoying as soon as you walk outside of the walls.
