Blows my mind you’d both tell a pedestrian to cross and also allow a car to drive through at the same time.

So you'd have every intersection come to a complete stop in all directions for pedestrian crossings? New York would come to a complete standstill.

And thus many of them rely on the cross town busses. Which would be brought to a stop if what you propose was implemented.
