Beg button on south side of Cranehill Drive at T-section with Langhorne Road is so far from crosswalk that "Don't Walk" sign comes on before pedestrians reach Cranehill Drive crosswalk #178

Appears from aerial imagery that there is a 27 foot walk between beg button and edge of Cranehill Drive crosswalk. Spoke to pedestrian with first hand experience that said red "Don't Walk" sign came on before they got to crosswalk.

@fionadunne Said button may not be working at all and will re-check sometime soon

fionadunne commented 3 months ago

The button is not working at all anymore, neither are the two on the northwest corner. Did not check Northeast button. Not sure right place to report?

Also yes, that's right, there are buttons and hand/walking-man displays installed for crossing Langhorne at the North side of this intersection. Just no painted crosswalk to go with.

Buttons are working again as of yesterday, but no response received.

@fionadunne Does it give an appropriate amount of crossing time now?

fionadunne commented 3 months ago

Seems like no change to crossing time. Walking man can start immediately upon pushing button, lasts about 8 s before red flashing countdown from 10.

Made personal task to check if timing changed
