Here's human drivers navigating in a similar way in a large intersection in Addis Abada (Ethiopia), I envision white light basically enabling this: https://youtu.be/VPbUpdmAfck

Why would you want to "enable" this?

What is actually being enabled, and is it more efficient than a regular green-yellow-red intersection? If you watch on 1x, this seems like a horribly slow/inefficient intersection.

the alternative is 5km long traffic jams in all 4 directions waiting for 2-3 cars to pass each green phase.

I'd love to see this in real-time rather than this sped up version. I suspect it's a little more reasonable to navigate when going slow enough.

Even at .25 play back speed it's still obviously way too fast in some cases.

And yes, it looks kinda normalize when the people walking are walking, not running.
