I love timelapse videos of scramble intersections (like this one of Tokyo’s famous Shibuya crossing). Here’s another one below that was shot by Sam Javanrouh of Toronto’s first scamble intersection at the corner of Yonge and Dundas. A writer at the Canadian Globe and Mail describes: “The launch of Toronto’s new “scramble” intersection - which stops motorized traffic and allows pedestrians to cross in all directions, even diagonally - felt a bit like a street party yesterday as thousands enjoyed a certain frisson from cutting across the middle of Yonge and Dundas Streets while cars had to wait.”
