Traffic signals generally have been installed to maximize the flow of motor vehicle traffic by reducing the average travel delay time. Under free-flow conditions, motor vehicle travel delay is very sensitive to the amount of green phase and the total cycle of the traffic signal. Average pedestrian delay at traffic signals is not taken into account. Some simple examples are used to demonstrate that travel time delay costs to pedestrians caused by existing signalization cycles may often result in increased travel time costs to society. In areas with heavy pedestrian traffic (or during peak pedestrian hours), traffic signals should trade off the costs of motor vehicle delay with pedestrian delay. This may suggest that in some areas, motor vehicle traffic should be banned or severely restricted. Narrower street widths that can allow reduced total signal cycle times can also reduce pedestrian delay.

Today, looking at the still crowded streets of our cities, we often do not realize how important and essential for their normal functioning are legal regulations of road traffic for all its users. The beginnings of Polish legislation in this field date back to the 1920s. The dynamics of change, occurring in this relatively new field of life, required the introduction of a series of further adjustments and revisions. The Regulation of July 6, 1922 was only six years old. On January 27, 1928, the Minister of Public Works and the Minister of Internal Affairs in agreement with the Minister of Military Affairs passed a regulation on the movement of motor vehicles on public roads. Before 1939, normative acts regulating the rules of motor vehicle traffic were repealed twice and replaced with newer legal acts.
