Downtown Seattle can be a real pain to drive through at certain times of the day. Only a handful of cars can turn right at any given intersection because of the solid wall of pedestrians crossing.
In the U.K. it is normal to have specific phases of the signal on which pedestrians can cross, and other phases on which cars can turn, so there is never a phase when pedestrians and vehicles are competing for the same space.
