Re: Project 180
why are they so against modern technology?
Just install the "new" poles without buttons already. this is a no brainer and should be the case at every major intersection in the city and EVERY stoplight downtown. IMO, you should ONLY need a beg button if you are accessing a street that has a dedicated left hand turn on the opposite way - in which, the walk signal would be delayed until the left arrow is red. And these would only be at major intersections, if at all since you still could 'program' the pedestrian signs with the dedicated lefts in mind (if no car is there, then the walk sign starts with parallel traffic green, etc).
Not sure why this is so hard to figure out and why 'engineers' in OKC point out the ease of pressing a button (when I'm sure none of them do, they just jaywalk like everybody else in OKC).
Honestly, wouldn't it be less costly to avoid the buttons?
