The city of Kjipuktuk (Halifax) has started to install more rectangular rapid flashing beacons on crosswalks due to concerns with drivers failing to yield to people crossing. Some also have audio signals for people with visual impairments that say "walk lights are flashing" to signal that they can cross. In this short video from the POV of my bike handlebars I captured the person crossing pressing the button to activate the lights and audio but then having to stop in the crosswalk to avoid being mown down by the driver in the white SUV who failed to yield. If they had been visually impaired they would likely have been struck and injured/killed by this driver. This is #ZeroVisionHFX where drivers face no consequences for their dangerous behaviour.
