Pedestrian crossings have gone buttonless in downtown Kelowna.
In an effort to reduce touch points amid the COVID-19 crisis, the City of Kelowna automated crossing signals at 19 downtown intersections starting April 2.
Pedestrian ‘cross’ signals will now display automatically, with no need to press a button.
Other areas of Kelowna are currently being reviewed for similar implementation of contactless pedestrian crossings.
