| BID Programs > Transportation > Pedestrian Countdown Signals Pedestrian Countdown SignalsEveryone who comes Downtown is a pedestrian for some part of their trip. The Downtown BID and the District Department of Transportation collaborated on installing important safety devices in Downtown - pedestrian countdown signals. Almost every signalized intersection in the District had pedestrian countdown signals by the end of 2005. The pedestrian countdown signals indicate how many seconds are available for pedestrians to cross an intersection. These devices also provide a signal to motorists that they should anticipate and yield to pedestrians in the intersection during the time indicated on the signal. The result is more predictability for everyone in the intersection and a safer environment.
