Part 4 – Pedestrian Signal Warrant: While I support the new warrant, as it is long over due, it does not go far enough. The pedestrian and bicyclist are equal users of a roadway to a motor vehicle and should be treated equally. The warrant should not be separated from any of the other vehicle volume warrant. Pedestrians and cyclist should be counted within the same warrant as motor vehicles and the combination of all intersection “volume” determine if a signal is required. Other jurisdictions outside the US have handled the signal warrant this way for years. Let’s start here and be inclusive.
