LEADING PEDESTRIAN INTERVALS
Leading Pedestrian Intervals give people walking a head start to cross the street before the light turns green for vehicles. This makes people more visible to drivers and reduces the chance of pedestrian-vehicle conflicts. As of 2016, twenty-two intersections throughout Los Angeles have been outfitted with Leading Pedestrian Interval signals. These treatments have resulted in up to a 60-percent reduction in vehicle collisions with people walking. 12
