Traffic signal control for pedestrian crossing is an effective measure to improve safety and efficiency of pedestrian crossing. Pedestrian crossing speed at signalized intersections is an important traffic engineering design parameter. Countdown pedestrian signals (CPS) are increasingly being used as a supplementary device of traditional pedestrian signals to improve pedestrian safety in China. This research examined the distribution of pedestrian speed distribution on signalized crosswalk and the impact of CPS on pedestrian crossing speed in Shanghai. The Pedestrian walking speeds during different signal interval displays were analyzed at the two similar characteristics intersections in the same road, one with CPS and the other without CPS. The results revealed that walking speed seems to be following a normal distribution no matter of male, female, older or younger. The average speed of young people is dramatically larger than that of older people, and the average speed of male is slightly larger than that of female. Compared with normal PGF (Pedestrian Green Flashing), CPS change the walking speed distribution of pedestrians and this effect are more dramatically at the last time span of signal change interval.
