While visiting The Villages in March my wife and I were surprised by the lack of "pedestrian phases" in the signal systems at the Lake Sumter Town Center signalized intersections. It is my impression that the yellow phase is incorporated into the signal timing and phasing to allow for the safe crossing of streets within designated pedestrian crosswalks. We noted the crosswalks without pedestrian signals heads or push buttons and were surprised by the omission.
Did we miss something and is this observation correct?
