A means for controlling a pedestrian crossing comprising a kerbside radar detector arranged to detect the presence of one or more pedestrians in a waiting area. A crossing controller is connected to receive signals from the kerbside radar detector and to control generation of safe-to-cross signals. The crossing controller is operable, in dependence on the volume of pedestrians detected in the waiting area by the kerbside radar, to provide a crossing priority balance between vehicle traffic and pedestrian traffic. The crossing priority balance may be adjusted through alterations to pedestrian inter-green periods or to the duration of safe-to-cross signals.
