The engineer who did that is going to get sued for sure for sure. There is no traffic control device for the cyclist at all--they are not supposed to follow the pedestrian signals--they have the right of way and so do drivers, it is the same liability if an engineer programmed the lights to be green in both directions at the same time.
I feel like I must be understanding the situation wrongly, but as I've said before, I'm no longer surprised by our engineers incompetence...I already know they lack the skills and training to build good infrastructure that isn't for cars.
I mean crossing from the southern Gaukel pedestrian street, to the northern "pedestrian" thing/modal filter, if that's what you interpreted. Google Streetview is showing me Oct 2023 coverage which seems to be up to date with everything I described. I suspect the legal answer is that Gaukel street is poorly defined, and cycling on it is a grey area? Despite being clearly encouraged.
No lights, facing north (bonus, the no stopping sign pointing left is probably encouraging people to stop to the right... on the crosswalk): https://www.google.com/maps/@43.4500708,...?entry=ttu
No lights, facing south: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.4500708,...?entry=ttu
The pedestrian button setup I describe that seems to confuse everyone I see: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.4500708,...?entry=ttu
