Amazing amount of effort spent on preventing the occasional superfluous vehicle stop when the pedestrian is gone for some reason. Would be surprised if the sensors did not raise a lot of false negatives for pedestrian presence, forcing them to keep begging at the knob?
I wonder what drivers would have to say to lights that are always red unless they press some button and wait?
- soco 3y agoI've met in southern France car sensors - a metal plate on the road making the equivalent pedestrian crossing request button. As a tourist you had to be told about it.
- tialaramex 3y agoPedestrians stop being there like all the time. Typically they cross on red, either because they saw a gap (and there's no law requiring them to wait, just politeness) or else they risked it anyway because they were impatient. Having crossed, the pedestrian no longer needs the lights so unless there's a pedestrian cycle anyway (as there may be at a junction) it should be elided. I've literally never had to "keep begging". I believe them that the sensors exist, but the event you seem to think would happen frequently has never occurred in my experience.
