Traffic Signal Pie - First Slice
Category: Science
Curious about traffic signal pie, first slice? I walk through how Pelican, Puffin and Toucan crossings work, explain push button pedestrian demand, near side versus far side aspects, flashing green and flashing amber rules, and the PC@TS pedestrian countdown used on standalone crossings. I also clarify why cyclists are treated as drivers in law.
