Why the pedestrian interval exists
A pedestrian interval reserves time so people can start or finish crossing while cars are held.

From the opening
A pedestrian interval is the portion of a signal cycle reserved for people crossing on foot, including the walk indication and the clearance time that follows it. It exists because a person in the crosswalk needs a start, and enough remaining time to reach the far curb, that a stream of turning or through cars will not be given at the same moment. The opening covers walk means a person may start, clearance finishes a crossing begun, and a leading interval holds the cars.
The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
