Results: I'll have my pedestrians scrambled please

A pedestrian scramble, also known as scramble intersection (Canada), 'X' Crossing (UK), diagonal crossing (US), and, more poetically, a Barnes Dance, is a pedestrian crossing system that stops all vehicular traffic and allows pedestrians to cross an intersection in every direction, including diagonally, at the same time. It also has benefits for pedestrian amenity and safety, which have led to new examples being installed in many countries in recent years. Have you heard of "Pedestrian Scramble" or by another moniker?

Have you ever crossed the street in a scramble like fashion?

If you have used both versions (scramble and the traditional crosswalk) which do you prefer?

I am reading a journal article now, that discusses the implementation of scramble crosswalks in Oakland, the results were a 50% decline in pedestrian - motor vehicle collisions. But, based on your usage, do the scramble methods seem safer?

Is this something you'd like to see being used in a busy intersection in your town (if applicable)?
