#walksydney — Public Fediverse posts

I added an option to Better Intersections to see which intersections meet the target and recommended max pedestrian wait time in the City of Sydney’s draft walking strategy and action plan!

@walk_sydney I've added all the crossings with countdown timers in Sydney (collected via Better Intersections via ODbL) to OpenStreetMap under the `traffic_signals:countdown_green=yes` tag, which you can see a map of here: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1wAj

The wiki for the `traffic_signals:countdown` tag in OSM is for timers counting down the red until the green light - so I invented that tag name - open to suggestions from the worldwide OSM community on better tag names for that.

A (very empty) map of scramble crossings is at https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1wAk, using the `crossing:scramble=yes`.

Please add any other examples you know of either to OSM, or let me know and I can add them.
