    Ohhh. There is one near my house that is literally only a pedestrian cross light. It’s off 90% of the time. Cars blow right through it constantly with kids in the road.

      Yeah, we have some of those nearby me. “RRFB” rectangular rapid-flash beacon.

      Upside, people do notice them. Downside, they never quite know what to do and it’s not good enough for a 4-lane road.

      My opinion they need one-way traffic spikes activated by the buttons. That might motivate drivers to stop, and if not they get the consequences instead of a person.
