Wow. There is a lot in your post. And you make some decent points. But I must point out that your frustration is partially due to your expectations….
The part of your post I quoted above is basically impossible to achieve. The goal is too minimize overall delay, not give one direction unrestricted flow. With cross traffic (thus the traffic signals) and variations in traffic flow, there WILL be delays. Minimizing those delays is the goal of the traffic engineer.
FWIW, I spent my career as a Professional Transportation Engineer in the State of Florida.
