🚦 Hawk learns the art of jaywalking to catch lunch—a true testament that even birds can outsmart humans at using traffic signals. Meanwhile, we're still struggling with self-checkout lanes 🤦‍♂️. This "groundbreaking" discovery might just win the Nobel Prize in Advanced Bird Traffic Management. 🦅

I was impressed with the signals at this pedestrian crossing in Seoul, Republic of Korea. The lights are easily within your field of view (even if you have a perpetual downward gaze). The green lights flash when it's close to the time for the light to turn red.

Do you know why MCDOT's Traffic Ops team installs these 🟡yellow🟡 boarders around some of the

Driving around Houston might be necessary but also could be considered more dangerous than usual, because three days after Hurricane Beryl blew through, traffic signals all across the city remain without electricity.

@walk_sydney So glad to read signal timing here as an important element of improving access for pepole using pedestrian space/facilities. #walking #walkability #MobilityJustice #MoveEequity #accessibility #pedestrian #TrafficSignals #streets #transportation #RoadSafety

Hey there #RoadSafety & #TrafficSignals brain trust:

The NE leg of this intersection has a signalized #crosswalk w/ beg button. Town staff just converted it to rest-in-walk, which is lovely. But there's a permissive yellow that allows drivers from the arterial to turn left while the #walk sign is active.

We may have the option to* either*:

* keep the rest-in-walk
or
* eliminate the permissive yellow but lose the rest-in-walk

WWYD?

I've spent a long time sitting at this pedestrian signal, waiting for a car to come along and trigger a walk phase. But some time in the past few months it was quietly switched to come on automatically when the adjacent traffic light turns green. And it's LOVELY.

youtu.be/knbVWXzL4-4 this is basically my work, research to improve signalization at intersections. Especially for cyclists stops and waiting time can be reduced.

Have you ever had the thought, "They really should put a traffic signal right here!" Let's dive into that just a little bit!

The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) has an entire chapter dedicated to establishing the requirements before a traffic signal can be installed. These requirements are called "Warrants." There are 9 warrants in total. If just one of the warrants are met, then a traffic signal should be considered as a solution. If none of the warrants are met, the manual recommends NOT installing a traffic signal. Here is a brief outline of each warrant.
