I added an option to Better Intersections to see which intersections meet the target and recommended max pedestrian wait time in the City of Sydney’s draft walking strategy and action plan!

Georges River Council is excited to announce it will be the first Sydney Metro council to trial shared e-scooters, marking the start of a 12-month trial in Kogarah. From 10 January, riders 16 years and older will be able to hire a Beam e-scooter in Kogarah’s trial area.
@walk_sydney I've added all the crossings with countdown timers in Sydney (collected via Better Intersections via ODbL) to OpenStreetMap under the `traffic_signals:countdown_green=yes` tag, which you can see a map of here: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1wAj
The wiki for the `traffic_signals:countdown` tag in OSM is for timers counting down the red until the green light - so I invented that tag name - open to suggestions from the worldwide OSM community on better tag names for that.
A (very empty) map of scramble crossings is at https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1wAk, using the `crossing:scramble=yes`.
Please add any other examples you know of either to OSM, or let me know and I can add them.
