@he0got0soul there should not be ungated railroad crossings, in my opinion. it just seems like a less costly alternative to a gate, but not clearly defining the right of way. seen too many of those "crazy traffic accident" real tv shows to think other wise. do you know of any reason?
-
I like how Tucson installs these 1 block away from actual traffic signals. One crosswalk signal like this started originally as an emergency (fire/ambulance signal) and had the pedestrian crossing added to it. Again, 1 block away from an intersection...
-
@Erikrhino9 It's a new signal, and it is going to take time for people to get used to. As I understand, the signal is based on a European configuration and adapted for American pedestrian purposes. My former hometown of Lawrence, Kansas has five HAWK signals installed, and on the occassions I have seen them activated, traffic compliance has been pretty good.
-
@Cooler3rick Yeah, and a hell of a lot more expensive and unnecessary.
-
@he0got0soul: The HAWK crossings stay solid red for a predetermined amount of time and then go to flashing red to allow cars to go if clear so they do not have to wait 2 minutes for one person to cross the street.
-
@RainbowDisposal: Right on. I saw that one...it's on 7 Ave and Indian School Rd (I live in Phoenix). That is a much better execution than the wig-wag. :)
-
@hikenbike59 I agree with you. The signal should not be dark. Most drivers would not even expect this signal to be operational normally and might even be shocked to see a red signal suddenly appear!
-
I saw a video of this type of signal from Phoenix, AZ. Instead of the wig-wag red lights, both red lights flash on and off at the same time.

they should put a railroad crossing quad gates its safer for pedestrians

I don't like the idea of wig-wag red lights meaning "treat it like a stop sign." That is disturbing. What does that say for lighted, but ungated railroad crossings? Jeez.

they just use normal signals here for exclusive ped crossings here... takes care of the whole issue.
