Alexandria Pedestrians Now Get a Head Start at Green Lights
A Leading Pedestrian Interval is signal timing change that starts the walk signal a few seconds before the green light to give people waiting to cross the street a head start in front of turning vehicles so that drivers can better see people walking and avoid a serious crash. Localities across the country and around the world (including Alexandria) have been implementing this solution for decades. Staff has implemented this in the following locations:
- Route 1 and Gibbon
- Route 1 and Wilkes
- King and Washington
- King and Henry
- King and Patrick
- Wilkes and Washington
- Duke and Henry (both crossings)
- Gibbon and Washington
- Slaters and Washington
- Cambridge and Duke (both crossings)
- N. Quaker and Duke
- Cameron Station and Duke
- Whiting and Edsall
- Slaters and Route 1
- Duke and Holland
