Assessment
Haïfa has installed a smart crosswalk system that uses cameras to detect pedestrians and automatically trigger walk signals, removing the need for a button. The system was tested for two years and approved by the Transportation Ministry. Its first installation is on Oskar Schindler Street in an upscale neighborhood. This technology shifts pedestrian safety from manual to automated detection, and its effectiveness in real traffic conditions will be worth monitoring.
