"Pedestrian Head Starts, also called Leading Pedestrian Intervals (#LPI s), are a known and proven safety intervention used around the country. These give pedestrians the walk signal several seconds before drivers get a green light, 🚦so #pedestrians can begin crossing the street before drivers start to turn. This makes the #drivers more likely to see & stop for them.
Studies from other cities have found reductions in pedestrian crashes and near-misses... as much as 60%"
