Diagonal Crossing at Oxford Circus


Opened in London in Nov 2009 to help pedestrians crossing this busy intersection on Oxford & Regents Streets. This was reportedly patterned after Tokyo [particularly the busy Shibuya crossing]. As in Sydney's Town Hall crossing [along George St.]; this crossing stops all traffic in all directions at once, thus 'allowing to handle double the number of pedestrians.'  Photo from here.
