The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has provided pelican signals at 68 traffic lights for safe road crossing by pedestrians, the municipal authorities said in a statement.
The signals can be manually operated by pedestrians, and will give a window of 15 seconds for one to cross the road safely by turning the vehicular signal red.
Priority is being given to install the pelican signals at schools, colleges, hospitals and busy junctions, the note said.
