The City of Richmond has automated 20 high-use pedestrian crosswalks in an effort to further reduce the spread of COVID-19.
The measure means that people won’t need to press the button in order to cross the street. The 24-hour automated cycle will activate every few minutes, according to the city, and temporary signage has been put in place at each location.
