Interesting hooded light signals. Love this street shot. Like the angle and view of this picture. Great lines and patterns too.

Not sure if this will work in less obedient North American society.

Let's hope it doesn't turn into a scrambled 'leggs' intersection >:)

Very nice. I had no idea this was coming. Thanks for the link, the video is really something else!

It's about time. I saw scramble intersections for the first time while working in San Francisco and it seemed like such an obviously good idea.

I really like the sharpness and all the colours of this image.

My experience with scramble intersection goes back more than 20 years. There was one in Tallinn, Estonia (when it used to be under the Soviet Union). It was kind of fun when cars stopped and the whole intersection was full of people.

It appears I am the only commentator who thinks the idea of a scramble intersection is an asinine mistake.

First of all, Toronto's population and pedestrian traffic density do not even come close to warranting such an ill concieved intersection.

Secondly the link, explaining what a scramble intersection is, cites Shibuya (i am stunned beyond belief by this) as a model example of a scramble intersection. As I live in Japan and have been to Shabuya countless times, I can atest for the living hell that Shibuya is (just watch the video and ask yourself "Do I really want to be pushing and shoving my way through a crowd of competing people, like a bunch of uncivilized jerks, everytime I cross the street?). I can tell you, Shibuya intersection is one of the most uncomfortable places to have to walk, or drive, in any major city in the world.

Why the beautiful city of Toronto is trying to emulate these far less attractive Cement Jungles is beyond my reasoning. I thought Toronto was better than this. Don't forget parks are supposted to be filled with grass and trees, we dont have to mutilate everything with ugly cement (this is something that has been forgotten where I live now).
