August 2023 Network Meeting – “All Things Pedestrian & Traffic Signals” Recording

Peter G. Furth, Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Northeastern University,  joined us for this month’s WalkMassachusetts Network discussion. Peter shared about accommodating slower peds, ped recall, protection from concurrent conflicting turns, and more, including Boston’s new traffic signal policy which has enormous improvements for pedestrians.
