99 sekund čakanja in le 9 sekund za prečkanje
When a pedestrian or cyclist must wait at a green light for an excessively long time while the green phase lasts only a few seconds, crossing becomes difficult. The analysis found that some traffic signals are programmed with very poor timing, creating long delays and very short crossing windows. These conditions force walkers and riders to break traffic rules in order to cross safely. Experts from the Coalition for Sustainable Traffic Policy have started a campaign called “Semafor brez for”. The campaign invites the public to join by marking problematic lights on an interactive map. Organizers say the map will help illustrate the extent of the problem across the city.
Kaj se zgodi, ko morata pešec ali kolesar na zeleno luč čakati predolgo, ko ta gori le nekaj sekund, če nihče ne pritisne na gumb, pa se sploh ne prižge? Analiza je pokazala, da so nastavitve nekaterih semaforjev izrazito slabe, predolgo čakanje in prekratek čas za prečkanje pa pešce silita v prekrške. Prometni strokovnjaki, zbrani v Koaliciji za trajnostno prometno politiko, so zagnali kampanjo "Semafor brez for", v kateri lahko sodelujete tudi vi. "Na našem interaktivnem zemljevidu označite semaforje, ki vam gredo na živce!" pozivajo.
