First time I’ve seen the pedestrian crossing button pointing downward
On Granville Bridge with the new bike lanes, crossing is behind me @citylife #vancouver #urbanism #biketooter #city

@Multiplexer That’s correct. It’s on a busy bridge for automobile traffic, so the light does not change until the cyclist or pedestrian buttons are pressed.
Ok, similar to the ones we have here in Germany at many crossroads.
They are colloquially called “Bettelampel” which translates to something like “beggar’s traffic light”, as you are kind of a second class traffic participant at this place and have to “beg” to get a timeslot allocated.
