You see the same thing at 25th ave on the way out of Stampede Park. When the train signal goes off, the westbound lanes of 25th get a short green. The theory is that anyone on the tracks will clear, while the people behind the tracks will remain stopped. The light, however, is red before the train actually passes through.
This, of course, makes assumptions about human intelligence that are often unfounded.
