Turning left/right (delete as applicable) is probably a good one. What
do
pedestrian lights show during this time? Green/walk? It needs
pedestrians
to be aware that cars will turn, even if they (cars) *should* give way
to
them.

When the pedestrian green man goes out there is about 20-30 seconds

the traffic lights start to change from red to green. So no excuse for a
pedestrian to still be crossing.

Is there any legal requirement for pedestrians to wait while the red
symbol is showing? Or do pedestrians have an unrestricted right to
cross the highway (other than motorways and other restricted use
highways)?

Do you not have jaywalking laws?


Generally speaking, no.
