Description
At Pavonia & Homestead there is a Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon (RRFB) installation that pedestrians can actuate when they want to cross Pavonia Ave.
There are two signals, one at each end of the crosswalk, which have yellow LED lights to warn oncoming vehicles.
A button is mounted on each pole below the beacons and signs.
Both sides normally flash when either button is pressed.
This is the ONLY signalized crosswalk in the middle of the 600 block of Pavonia Ave.
The north lights and button are not working.
The south lights abd button are working.
The lights on BOTH sides should flash when EITHER button is pressed, but they don't.
Only the lights on the south pole flash when the button is operated.
The lights on the north side of the street DO NOT flash.

I previously reported that the sign and flashing lights on the south side are obscured by a new wood pole installed by PSE&G:

Maybe both problems could be corrected with one visit by traffic signal technicians.

I reported a similar problem with this RRFB installation on 8 January 2022:

It took TWO MONTHS before the problem was finally corrected.
Given the hundreds of pedestrians who use this crossing daily, JC Traffic should get it fixed ASAP.

Sounds like an efficient way to handle 2 issues at once.
