Pedestrian crossing synchronised with traffic lights - Paris 15e

This trial was implemented on a busy access ramp to the Boulevard Périphérique in Paris, close to a sports and shopping centre as well as office buildings.

SPECIFIC SITE ISSUES
  • Poor visibility of the pedestrian crossing for vehicles coming from the right
  • Frequent jaywalking and pedestrian crossings out of phase
OBJECTIVES
  • Reduce jaywalking and out of phase crossings
  • Reduce car driver pedestrian priority denials
  • Make the crossings feel safer with a special focus on PRMs
THE PROJECT

Flowell panels have been installed along the zebra crossing. The advanced stop line has also been equipped with Flowell panels. The system is synchronized with traffic signals

RESULTS
  • The compliance with priority rules was dramatically improved. The portion of non-compliant vehicles dropped from 33% to 6%
  • Feelings of safety also increased from 59% to 87%
  • PRMs and visually impaired people reported
