The wait times are based on historic averages. This represents the wait time if a pedestrian pushed the pedestrian button at the end of the green figure being shown - this therefore represents the longest wait time. It should be noted that timings will vary according to the signal plans running so there are a variety of possible timings that could be provided.
The green duration is how long the green figure is displayed on average. The absolute minimum is six seconds. At this particular site, the green figures are displayed on average for longer than six seconds as shown in the “Green Duration” column as pedestrian crossings appear with non-conflicting traffic phases so can run for longer. Therefore, most of the pedestrian phases far exceeded the absolute minimum six seconds. If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me. Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal. Yours sincerely Gemma Jacob Senior FOI Case Officer FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
