Recently, Ningbo crossroads crosswalk is very strange, in addition to install two pedestrian crossing lights, the middle also installed a pedestrian crossing traffic signal lights, do not know what is the reason for this, in consultation with the Department of transportation recently learned.

The time to cross the street has been increased by 15 seconds.

More than 10 points yesterday morning, the reporters came to the intersection of Siming road and Hebei Road, found that four out of the road has 8 lanes in each direction, the road is very wide, the elderly and children want to across the street is not easy. This set of "two street" is in the middle of the crosswalk traffic facilities installed several fence, around a "safety island", penned part of the ground all painted yellow paint, and then set up a traffic light near the island side, pedestrian crossing lights shown above, the number of seconds countdown the light color and the two ends of the road is not consistent.

Compared to the previous "two street", the biggest difference is to increase the facilities in the middle of this signal, it will have a wide road is divided into two parts, "let the pedestrian street two times more safe and calm. According to the middle of the light, the pedestrian can more actively through the first half of the road, arrived in the "safety island" and then as a signal, directly across the street or wait for selection.

Reporters trying to go to, find each cycle, it only takes 45 seconds to wait for the green light time, and through the crosswalk time is 45 seconds, pedestrians can walk across the road to neither fast nor slow. While the Yinzhou traffic police brigade in the installation of facilities before the calculation of the data is that each cycle of pedestrians waiting for 65 seconds, the time for pedestrians to cross the road only 30 seconds. In contrast, after the installation of facilities, pedestrian crossing the road is more convenient.

Four out of the road on both sides of residential and large shopping supermarket, pedestrian crossing the road more. The site has a public told reporters that the facility to give people the feeling is quite human. As a middle of the road is open, the signal lamp would light lights allow pedestrians waiting for a short time, the natural impulse and behavior of red light is less.

Yinzhou Traffic Police Brigade squadron of police officer said Xie order, "the principle of the street two times" facilities is very simple, when the left turn vehicle, traffic will not affect the other is the lateral half of road, use this space, green light for pedestrians half of the road, to the "safety island" pause.
