Places to See: Toronto Scramble and Crosswalk Efficiency

We’d love to see more crosswalks like this in the US. Spotted via PicoCool, the above video is a time lapse of Toronto’s first Scramble Intersection. As reported by Globe & Mail, “The launch of Toronto’s new intersection – which stops motorized traffic and allows pedestrians to cross in all directions, even diagonally – felt a bit like a street party as thousands enjoyed a certain frisson from cutting across the middle of Yonge and Dundas Streets while cars had to wait.” Check it out next time you’re in the Tdot!
