Installing pelican crossings by themselves don't do much to increase pedestrian safety since most motorists and pedestrians don't know how to use it - i.e. pedestrians don't know how to operate it, and on the rare occasions they do, the resultant red is completely ignored by most motorists who are just not used to such "non-intersection" signals. So, my suggestion would be to introduce pelican signals along with other elements such as signages, awareness building among motorists and pedestrians, some amount of enforcement or using temporary traffic wardens for a month or so, and maybe even a concurrent pedestrian safety campaign in the vicinity of the pelican signals.
