Show Notes
Edinburghs city council has implemented significant changes to traffic signals, prioritizing pedestrians with faster crossing times. Ninety-three percent of standalone pedestrian crossings now cap waits at twenty seconds, and two key junctions have been upgraded to further reduce wait times. The council is also refurbishing signals citywide and replacing old pelican crossings with smarter puffin and toucan ones, which cater to both pedestrians and cyclists. These updates aim to make streets more walkable and safer for everyone, with a review set for April second at the Transport and Environment Committee.
