Campaign for touch-free pedestrian crossings

Instead of pushing a button as a pedestrian, to get the lights to change, you move your hand under the button unit. Like touch free toilet flushing. The gadget detects the movement.

A simple way to avoid the button that is never cleaned and so many people touch so often - which is a COVID risk (and other infections)

The cost? £100 per pushbutton. So you could do every pedestrian controlled light in Yate for under £2000. So we suggested South Glos used some of the money it had been given for highways works resulting from COVID to do this. They refused point blank, even though other authorities have rolled this out. What do you think?
