Why were countdown displays not fitted?

These are common in London and it clearly shows how many seconds remain before the lights turn green for traffic.

I know there are always the risk takers, who will cross the road regardless, but if they saved just one accident it would be worth it.

They would also aid those who cannot cross the road as quickly as others.
