Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPIs) are good, and places should do them...

But exclusive ped phases (widely found here in Eastern MA, rare elsewhere AFAIK) are true all-ages signal ops.

Why don't we talk more about them?

@bikepedantic 💯 My kid was able to start walking to school on her own at 10, despite crossing Mass Ave, but we only were comfortable with that because it was an exclusive ped phase.

@Cambikelanes Fresh Pond/Mass Ave is like 80% less terrifying to cross than it would be with a conventional concurrent ped base with LPI. Such an eye opener.
