Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

I am actually posting this suggestion that was created by the Robotics (FLL) team that I mentor. They are hoping to receive feedback or talk to someone about the feasibility of it. They are looking at a solution that utilizes Bluetooth Beacons at crosswalk locations that aren't at traffic lights. The beacon will broadcast a signal when a pedestrian pushes the button to cross the road at a designated crosswalk (button & beacon on post with crosswalk sign). They would like the app to be able to detect the beacon signal and provide a warning that there is a pedestrian at the crosswalk they are approaching. Utilizing the beacon would only alert those within the proximity of the crosswalk and only alert drivers when a pedestrian is actually present. The beacon allows the pedestrian to notify drivers rather than a driver needing to identify the pedestrian in the app for others.
