how long on red ps vic Page 11

In Victoria, the 'how long on red' question for pedestrian signals (PS) is a bit like asking how long a kangaroo will stay still—variable but governed by strict rules. Typically, the red pedestrian light lasts about 20 to 30 seconds to ensure safe crossing intervals, but this can vary depending on the intersection and traffic flow. The timing is designed so that when the red light is on, vehicles have the green to proceed safely.

If you're curious about the exact timing at a particular intersection, local councils or VicRoads would be the go-to sources. For the impatient pedestrian, remember: crossing safety trumps impatience every time.
