City Bypasses Beg Buttons in a Victory for Advocates

We did it! The Seattle Department of Transportation has made pedestrian signals change to a walk signal automatically when vehicles have the green light at 75% of Urban Center and Hub Urban Village intersections. And, a new signals policy is expected that will solidify this change.

This couldn't have been done without your advocacy and Seattle's safe streets organization, Seattle Neighborhood Greenways.

There is still work remaining to do, however. Read more about what we've done, how we got here, and what's left to do at The Urbanist.
