Mid-Block Signals with Redundant Arrows

I thought the arrows would activate during the pedestrian phase like they do in other parts of Moncton/Dieppe.
The lane is a shared thru/left so I can see why that was not the case here. This may be getting converted to a full intersection and they got ahead of the curve with the protected permissive lefts, but I’m not entirely sure!

There’s a pedestrian-activated signal like this in Colwood. It has an advanced left arrow but it’s not enabled because it would cause a conflict with the unsignalized side-street crossing. I wish they had ped signals for both crossings, so that they could activate the advance arrow!

It's an interesting set up, I haven't personally seen any crosswalks with arrows, so thanks for highlighting this.
BC is notable for its numerous signalized crosswalks so are there any with arrows? It'll be cool to see if there are any.

I’ve seen a couple activate in this area! Like I get it but it should be a full intersection if they’re doing that.

Maybe the arrow only activates if a car is waiting to turn? The street doesn't look as busy, the arrow may only be seen at peak times?

I watched it after and it never came up!
