Talk:Pedestrian scramble

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How exactly does the new picture show the barnes dance? It just looks like a bunch of people crossing the street - could be any intersection in the world, in fact. In the old picture a traffic light was clearly visible showing that pedestrians could cross in both directions. -Ld | talk 20:20, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Barnes Dance → pedestrian scramble – Barnes Dance is a very rarely used phrase, pedestrian scramble is more often used and a better description. See the googlefight for proof of the popularity of pedestrian scramble compared to Barnes Dance Daniel Olsen 07:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

"In many cities in the Netherlands a similar system is used to allow cyclists to cross busy intersections."

I don't believe that is true, as I live in Amsterdam (bike city), and the only pedestrian scramble I've ever seen was in Sydney at the intersect of George street and Park street. But I could be wrong. 85.144.208.112 15:19, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pedestrain scramble - List of locations

Recommened reinserting the list of Pedestrian Scramble locations as link to the main article. Included in the main article may be "unencyclopedic" but certainly has value on its own. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.121.19.13 (talk) 17:50, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
