closed: Resolved #187811

Traffic Signals:

Other: The traffic signal at Woodlawn and 3rd requires pedestrians to push the beg button to get the walk light to cross 3rd. Maybe that's reasonable on the west side of the intersection, but the walk light should come on automatically on the east side of the intersection, because there is no conflict with turning traffic. It is a particular issue because pedestrians coming from the north can't see what phase the lights for car traffic are in. This lack of information for pedestrians often causes some unsafe behavior that could be avoided if they could just rely on the walk signal that faces them to accurately convey whether they are in an east-west phase of the light cycle or a north-south phase.

Thank you for pointing this out. We are in the data collection phase of a citywide signal retiming project. A large emphasis of that project is evaluating operations similar to what you describe. All signalized intersections will be evaluated to determine the most appropriate operations (including whether or not the buttons must be pressed to trigger the walk indication).
