Subject: [TCUG] Toucan Green Wave Indicators for Cyclists
It's Friday afternoon, not April 1st
=20
Our cycling officer has just come to us with a plan for advance
indicators for cyclists on a cycle way as it approaches a toucan.
=20
It is apparently in use on the continent and gives an indication to
cyclists so that they can adjust their speed so that they can reach the
toucan whilst it is still on green.
=20
Anyone know anything about such a device? have a look at a company
called 'tradeinvent'
http://www.tradeinvent.co.uk/products/bicycletraffic.php=20
=20
No rants please - We have already been through the 'how can it work with
anything but a fixed time crossing' and 'should we be getting cyclists
to speed up as they approach a conflict point with both cars and peds'
=20
I recall there being a count-down timer being made available from one
signal company that may have been used by some of you. We certainly
didn't but I suppose the concept is not hugely different - any comments
on that one as well.
