Chesapeake, Virginia, is installing 5 "countdown-type" crosswalk signs this summer. Tammy Barry, a spokeswoman for the city's public works department, says that the project will cost the city about $48,000.
The new signs will update the old crosswalk signs by having a countdown next to the "walk" sign that indicates how long pedestrians will have to cross the street. The project also includes adding buttons that pedestrians can push to trigger the walk sign and new mounted signs that read "Turning Traffic Must Yield to Pedestrians."
We applaud the city of Chesapeake for their efforts in improving pedestrian safety.
The new signs will be installed at the following intersections:
The city has selected three other intersections to make improvements at as well, but whether those projects are completed will hinge on the availability of funding.
