Pedestrians get signal light power
Print Edition
Pedestrians may feel like they鈥檙e in the driver鈥檚 seat, because newly developed traffic-light systems in the Pudong New Area empower them to change signal colors by simply pushing a button.
The new signal system is equipped with a blue electronic device under the traffic light for pedestrians, and has been installed at nine Pudong locations 鈥 mainly small junctions with minimal foot traffic 鈥 to improve traffic efficiency and safety.
After pressing the button, a traffic light turns from red to green as quickly as vehicle traffic allows 鈥 usually no longer than 45 seconds.
The device was designed with multiple functions 鈥 including special touch patterns 鈥 to guide the visually impaired, as well as automatic volume control that adjusts based on surrounding noise. Wang Ningming, an engineer who works with the Pudong police, said the latest attempt comes with better quality and functionality.
