New pedestrian signs in London

摘要

Pedestrians across London will have a clearer idea or how long they have left to safely cross the road from this summer as new Pedestrian Countdown technology is rolled out across the capital. The roll-out, which will see the technology installed at around a further 200 locations across the capital, comes after the technology received approval from the Department for Transport and the Highways Agency, following a successful trial in London. Pedestrian Countdown reduces confusion and uncertainty for pedestrians by displaying how long they have left to cross the road when the green man goes out. The digital displays count down the time between the green man symbol going out and the red man appearing.
