39 locations in Delhi now have Pelican Signaling systems

As many as 39 locations on the busy roads of the national capital now have Pelican Signalling systems installed by Delhi Police, a technology which enables pedestrians to request convenient traffic management for crossing roads at the push of a button.
Delhi Police has installed Pelican Signals at 39 locations in the national capital to facilitate the pedestrians to cross roads safely, the Lok Sabha was told today.
"In this Signalling system, the pedestrian green light is activated once a request is registered by pedestrians to cross the roads by pressing Push button in the Pedestrian Control Panel," Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary said today answering queries on the Pelican system.

To prevent the misuse of Pelican Signals, Delhi Traffic Police are spreading awareness about the operations of the system and ensured proper deployment of traffic staff at selected signals where repetitive misuse is noticed, the minister added.
The Pelican crossing system was first introduced in United Kingdom in 1969 before it was adopted in Ireland and other nations.
