I wouldn’t go so far. Pedestrian gates are different from car gates in that they are on both sides, whereas car gates, at least around here, leave space on the “exiting” side. So pedestrians can be “trapped” between the two gates in a way cars can’t. They even showed an example of this with the City maintenance vehicle — are we so sure that it entered the crossing after the lights started? What about people who are slow at walking?

The evening segment showed a video from a gentleman on a mobility scooter clearly entering before any signal trigger and becoming trapped in the centre. Definitely is an issue at that crossing.
