- Description
- The constituent is requesting to have this intersection reviewed for pedestrian safety after a woman passed away this past week by being struck by a vehicle. She says that the intersection the woman died at has a similiar problem to the intersection of Sleeper and Seaport Blvd. The constituent says that this intersection gives pedestrians an OK to walk when the other light is green for traffic. She says this poses a safety hazard for people who are distracted when crossing the street. |

Case Noted. Thank you for your comments about your concerns regarding the use of concurrent walk sequencing at this location. Over half of BTD operated traffic signals utilize concurrent walk operation as it improves pedestrian compliance with walk signals. This type of walk signal operation is consistent with pedestrian signal operation throughout the country. We will evaluate this location to confirm that the operation is consistent with current BTD Engineering guidelines for use of this type of pedestrian signal sequence.
