Pedestrian crossings aren’t evaluated by whether they turn on anymore.
They’re evaluated by what they can prove.
Today’s municipalities are being asked:
🚗 How fast were vehicles approaching?
⚠️ Were drivers actually yielding?
✅ Did conditions improve after installation?
If it can’t provide insight, then it can’t deliver safety.
Because when safety budgets, grants, or incidents are reviewed,
“we’ve installed flashing lights” isn’t evidence.
Measured behavior is the benchmark and crossings that can’t deliver it are starting to show their age.
Decisions need evidence. Planning needs proof. Accountability needs data.
