There's no reason to make a person stand there and wait (except entice them to dangerously cross traffic against the signal). There is no penalty to the traffic (who wouldn't know otherwise that there was a delay or not). The only timer that is required is a recycle timer that doesn't permit requests to occur to close together.
This. Yes. Please.
