42nd Street & 9th Avenue Signal Timing
• Change westbound left-turn arrow from beginning of green phase
(leading) to end of phase (lagging)
• Switch LPI from eastern and western crosswalks to northern and
southern crosswalks
• Red arrow for southbound left-turn during WALK and bike green
• Red arrow for westbound left-turn during WALK signal (only if Dyer
Ave contra-flow lane implemented)
42
![Page 43: Clinton/Hell’s Kitchen - Welcome to NYC.gov€¦ · Clinton/Hell’s Kitchen Neighborhood Transportation Study ... Proposed: Provide a signalized crosswalk on the west side of 9th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070811/5f0ad17f7e708231d42d7e56/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Signal Timing to Protect Pedestrians NO IMPROVEMENT SPLIT PHASE LPI
• Conflict between pedestrians and
turning vehicles • Pedestrians get a 7 sec head start
before conflict with turning vehicles
• Less crossing time but conflict free
• Less time for turning vehicles
• Need to remove parking
• High rate of non-compliance (peds
and vehicles)
