Traffic signal enhancements
A variety of traffic signal enhancements that can benefit pedestrians and bicyclists are available. These include providing left turn phasing separate from pedestrian walk intervals, timing signals in sequence to encourage desired vehicle speeds, providing “leading pedestrian interval” timing to give enhanced pedestrian service, a brief all-red interval, providing larger traffic signals heads to ensure visibility, and placing signal heads so that motorists waiting at a red light can’t see the other signals and anticipate the green. Specific signal enhancements are described in detail on the following two pages, pedestrian signals and right turn on red.
