"The proposed ordinance would establish clear programming standards for crosswalk signals, focusing on timing and automation.

"Under the new rules, signals in busy areas - think around the Plaza, downtown, or around a busy metro station - could activate automatically instead of requiring pedestrians to push a button.

"It could make for more efficient crossings for both vehicles and people walking with less "phantom signals" caused by accidental button pushes, while encouraging pedestrians to walk in crosswalks instead of jaywalking.

"The initiative is part of Vision Zero, Kansas City's commitment to eliminate traffic deaths by 2030. The proposal also includes modernizing signal timing across the city."
