The City of Edmonton is adjusting push buttons at pedestrian crossings and allocating some roadways for shared use between pedestrians and vehicles in hopes of spreading people out to promote better physical distancing.

Effective Thursday, pedestrian signals will be automatic at 56 high-pedestrian intersections in the city, as well as those around hospitals.

This will eliminate the need for people to push buttons at these crossings, in an effort to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

Signage will be posted at the affected intersections. The city said the audible signal for those who are visually impaired will continue to be activated by pushing the button.
