In areas of the city where there is not enough foot traffic to justify installing stop lights we have pedestrian crosswalks like this one where the walker pushes a button on the pole and lights start flashing right across the roadway. The cars stop and must wait until the pedestrian has cleared the roadway. This one is on a busy street right by the stairs leading to a popular park.

Standard here.
We have these all over town here too. They started showing up about 3 years ago. It's funny how some drivers still don't understand how they work.
...we have many similar crossing signs here too!
These make sense, I have seen them in other states.
They are not in my part of Maryland.
Take care, enjoy your day!
It's a different system than we have here.
I hope the cars do stop for pedestrians.
That's interesting. I suppose we have similar but they look totally different.
It is like that here in Australia too
A great system where cars outnumber pedestrians.
A clear sign.
We have a couple on our main street.
Verde precioso.
Bien señalizado está. Aún así hay que tener mucho cuidado.En un paso así con el semáforo en verde en Portugal me atropelló un coche.
Un abrazo.
There's one of these close to home.
