India. If you want to do that, it would require a steady green for Winnebago with on-demand green for the path either via push button or in-path actuation. The in-path sensors are already there. This could be do-able now and is done now at select intersections late evening.
An unintended consequence would be bikers would have to "wait" for for their green light - even when there is low or no traffic on Winnebago. (When the lights are usually flashing.)

I know that the current lights are not designed to do this but if after activating the button a flashing yellow could change to solid yellow and then red, then autos would get a clear signal and peds and bikes would get a fair shake at crossing safely at the intersections that go to flashing. Any hope, or would there be unintended costs or consequences that I am glossing over? -india On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 1:21 AM, Rummel, Marsha <[email protected]> wrote: From: Dryer, David Sent: Friday, October 12, 2012 8:19 AM To: Rummel, Marsha Cc: Location File Subject: FW: Winnebago at Riverside Crossing Afternoon Alder Rummel After further review, the following change has been downloaded to the above intersection controller: >From March thru mid April, and from 3rd week of September thru October, we >changed the start of flashing operation for the signals from 7 p.m. to a 9 p.m. on weeknights.

This will address the concerns raised byxx There may be complaints raised by motorists for having to stop to what appears to them to be for no reason. There is no solution to this concern. Our goal is to accommodate a balanced street and this is a major bike crossing we wish to accommodate. Let me know if there are any questions. _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org -- :typed by one hand while nursing: WeAreAllMechanics.com [email protected] Stay connected- Follow WAAM on Facebook _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
