The purpose is to make it safer for pedestrians by increasing the visual field for both pedestrians crossing the street and for drivers pulling up to an intersection.Starting Jan.
Daylighting doesn't just help protect people crossing the street, but helps drivers in being able to make safe turns in the face of oncoming traffic.Vehicles keep getting larger, heavier, and more powerful, which means every possible solution is needed to help prevent traffic crashes â and keep people safe in the crosswalk.
