Leading Pedestrian Intervals (or LPIs) are a best-practice pedestrian safety countermeasure that lets people crossing the street start walking before the cars get the green light. This increases pedestrian visibility and vehicle yielding, and has now been implemented on Cerrillos Road from St. Michael's all the way to Beckner!
The upgrades were included in a corridor signal timing project that also aimed to improve vehicle travel times and traffic flow. An additional improvement for Cerrillos walkers is automatic pedestrian crossing signs and countdowns on signalized cross streets, which previously showed a solid hand unless activated by the pedestrian push button.
These may seem like small improvements, but can make a big difference for people using Santa Fe's most trafficked road! You can read more about the project from the City of Santa Fe.
