About 65 percent of the County’s
traffic signals have been adjusted to give pedestrians more time to cross the
road. Federal guidelines now advise that signals provide enough time for
pedestrians to cross at 3.5 feet per second rather than the older standard of 4
feet per second, which required walkers to move more quickly.
Retiming traffic signals is a
complex process, requiring study of the impacts, and recalculating and
resetting all signal timing and cycle lengths. This careful process ensures
that unintended impacts on other roadway portions are minimized.
