Noel Mon, 14 Mar 2011 15:56:25 +0000 http://www.streetfilms.org/archives/lpi-leading-pedestrian-interval/#comment-256417 An excellent solution that could reduce pedestrian-vehicle conflicts and crashed at crosswalks! But, we have to be careful about improper implementation. We need a standard for application. This will help the engineers in conducting the appropriate study to confirm need for and the duration of a lead ped interval. In the context of other solutions, we must be able to confirm when LPI is the best option on a case by case basis. Application to all intersections, including all those with substantial pedestrian traffic, is NOT RECOMMENDED. Opportunity for MUTCD consideration!

The timing of some of the signal lights has 3 phases. In one phase, vehicles on one street have the right-of-way. In the second phase, vehicles on the other street have the right-of-way. In the third phase, pedestrians own the whole intersection, so they can cross either street, or both at once diagonally. Pedestrians don't just get a head start--they get a car-free intersection with enough time to cross completely in any direction. A few years ago, downtown Seattle WA would sometimes develop gridlock, when there were so many pedestrians in crosswalks that vehicles could never turn right or left, over many signal-light cycles. Eventually the car drivers would get impatient, and nudge their way through the fully occupied crosswalks. The Denver idea would solve this problem, I don't know whether or not Seattle has implemented it yet. I've heard that Denver, CO has a more extreme version of the "Leading Pedestrian Interval".
