You're right that the green wave can discourage speeding. People aren't always rational, so their knowledge that going 50 will mean they hit green lights might be counteracted by the feeling that they are on a big wide street designed for high speed. And, you're right, not everyone knows, so my drive as fast as possible (on these roads, pretty fast), pass each other, so on.
I wonder what the timing is for the green wave? I know that, in Hamilton, it's set at slightly higher than the speed limit.
You're absolutely right that there needs to be more provisions to cross. Having a crosswalk on one of the pair but not a partner on the other is senseless. More would be good. The best solution would still be two-way conversion.
