As someone who does need to travel on the cross streets fairly often, the downside of this is that the non major streets have lights that are _really_ poorly timed.

I realize why they do it, and it is optimizing for the majority use case, but damn is it annoying when you want to go the other way...

Yeah it's terrible. I do the West End ride sometimes and all down washington it's fine. Then we hit downtown and we get stopped at EVERY light. Once we hit fannin and turn for the med center it's green lights all the way and you see 30-50 cyclists just cruising in an urban environment; it's surreal.
