Prospect Heights residents will soon have an easier time crossing Flatbush Avnue, Eastern Parkway and Atlantic Avenue after the city installs dozens of traffic lights that count down the seconds pedestrians have left to cross.
The new traffic lights are part of a plan to put as many as 1,500 “pedestrian countdown signals” on major streets across the five boroughs, said Department of Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Kahn at a news conference Monday morning.
Countdown signals will be installed at every single intersection:
• Along Eastern Parkway from Grand Army Plaza to Ralph Avenue
• Atlantic Avenue between S. Oxford Street and Grant Avenue, which is nearly in Queens
•Flatbush Avenue between Fulton Avenue and Grand Army Plaza
