It's a fun contradiction, when you think about it.

I mean, obviously the reason that the light cycle is unfavourable to the side-street is because the vast majority of traffic is going on the major street and travelers on the side-street are rare interruptions. Obviously, you shouldn't stop dozens of people for one rare person. But if the interruption is rare, then it shouldn't be a big concern that occasionally you give them priority.

But instead we're told *both*. It happens often-enough that it would unacceptably compromise traffic on the main thoroughfare if we interrupted the normal light-cycle to let the cross-street traffic through... but it's also so rare that they only don't need a regular cycle, and the request-based cycle is good-enough.
