Did you know that Saanich has 31 intersections featuring a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) that gives more priority to pedestrians?
The first intersection to give the head start to pedestrians was Cedar Hill Cross Rd. at Braefoot Rd. in September of 2019.
Saanich currently has 31 intersections featuring a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) that gives more priority to pedestrians. We have been adding this feature to intersections since September of 2019. Pedestrians at these intersections receive their walk signal first, a few seconds before drivers get their green light. This gives people walking or cycling a head start which improves their visibility and in turn makes it safer. Leading pedestrian intervals are a recommendation from the Active Transportation Plan and will be installed at additional locations over the next couple of years.
Signals along the Lochside Trail also have bicycle signals installed to help cyclists get a head start and clear the intersection.
The following 34 intersections have had LPI installed since the beginning of the program in 2019.
