I see what you mean, but what about the real-life time element
involved (granted, this whole discussion revolves around a game, but
I'm just trying to avoid abuse of the system where I can). The
entire combat round is described as being 3 seconds or so. If your
street sam gets 3 action phases during the round, they are roughly 1
second each. Even under my rule, 1 second is a very short time to
run a distance of maybe 12 meters or more.

You mean a (*2) instead of a (*3)?

I like that thought. A lot. <grin>
