  1. Countdown Pedestrian SignalsPresentation by Jack Fleck, City/County of San FranciscoFebruary 28, 2006

  2. Countdown Questions • Will cars speed up to make the light? • Will more pedestrians start to cross on the Flashing Red Hand? • Is it better to start the countdown on the Flashing Red Hand or on the Walk symbol? • Will pedestrians be able to judge how much time it takes them to cross? • Will the intersections be safer?

  3. Pilot Project--2001 Countdown signals initially installed at 14 test locations, 9 assessed. City eventually replaced pedestrian signals with Countdown Signals (over 700 intersections). More energy-efficient, so electricity savings will eventually pay for LED device installation
