Following a successful trial at eight locations across London in June 2010, pedestrian countdown technology will be rolled out at pedestrian crossings throughout the UK capital, giving pedestrians a clearer idea of how long they have left to cross the road. The digital displays count down the time between the green man symbol going out and the red man appearing. This helps make it clear to pedestrians how much time they have left to cross the road safely. The roll-out will see the technology installed at around a further 200 locations across London from summer 2012, making it the first city in the UK to use the technology on a permanent basis.
