Someone is going to get hit by a car there soon.   It is just something that happens at street intersections that have a lot of pedestrian traffic.

We've had that in Toronto for awhile now at Yonge/Dundas. No one has yet to be hit. Works so much better than the old way.

it's just so pedestrians that want to go say from the corner at the bottom of the screen to the corner at the top can go straight across in one go, rather than having to cross the road, and then cross the road again at a right angle. if you're just going straight down the road or crossing the road, then youd still use it as normal. it's just ito speed it up for people who'd otherwise have to cross twice

only problem with them kinda crossings is you have to stop the whole traffic in every direction

In Auckland on Queen Street they have those at a couple of the major intersections. The first time I saw people crossing every which way I was thinking WTF?

if i tried to cross diagonally there i would think i'd get traped in the middle because of the people going the other way across your path. what if you can't get past them? usually you'd wait for a gap, but then that means the traffic starts again and you're stuck there in the middle. crazy shit but probably fun
