Regarding the timing on crossings, the main reason for the 'waiting time' is that they are programmed not to operate within a certain time of the previous cycle. The reason for this is obvious as if they responded immediately to the press of the button every time you could have a situation where the traffic could be stopped for excessive periods as successive pedestrians kept pressing the button, hence the delay so that the traffic can be kept moving.
