Topic: Wait Extinguish – Ped Lanterns – Red Man

One of the topics discussed at SNUG in Hamilton was the Wait Extinguish.
Should we be keeping the red man lit at all times (except during 'walk' time), or should we be continuing with the current practice of dropping a few seconds after the clearance time is finished?

Topic: Signalised crossing LED strips

Hi Everyone,

I am looking into LED strip lights/illuminated tactiles for pedestrian crossings to combat pedestrian distraction (phone zombies). Has anyone done any research or installed something like this at any intersection? I want to know if they had the desired outcome or whether they were a waste of time. I have seen a few places overseas that have installed them but there doesn't appear to be any follow up on the outcome of the trials. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.

Topic: Pedestrian gates at signals

Good Morning All,

I have been asked to look into the possibility of having automatic pedestrian gates at a signalised intersection crossing a 100kmh road. What I am interested in, is if anyone has any knowledge of a similar type of install anywhere in NZ or the world for that matter.

I have been doing some googling and as yet have come up empty handed as it seems this type of treatment is reserved for rail crossings with high numbers of pedestrians.

I am also keen to hear peoples thoughts on the idea, whether you think it is a great or stupid idea all feedback is welcomed.

Regards

Chris
