What an interesting discussion!
It may be of interest to know that in Leeds we have done a comprehensive
review of all our mid block ped crossings, and have been able to reduce ped
delays by an average of 30%. This work is described in an article coming
out in TEC July issue (I think). More detailed analysis has not been done,
but there is a mass of data waiting for someone.....
A few other comments...
1. We will not use kerb side detection while there is a significant chance
that anyone could have a legitimate demand cancelled - we view that as
having serious safety implications.
2. Pretimed maxes on roads over 30mph are ruled out in LTN 2/95
3. We are working on using a new AVL system for bus priority at Ped
crossings, and tying this in with the ped delay reduction work already done
