Talk:Pedestrian scramble

message: 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)

message: The historic move request used a Googlefight as the main argument. I note that this Googlefight uses quotation marks around the expression 'Barnes Dance', but not around the expression 'pedestrian scramble'. Repeating the Googlefight with quotation marks around both expressions gives a rather different result. Just an observation. Schwede66 (talk) 09:05, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Observation on the move request

message: "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.

replies: text: I have uploaded a video clip to Youtube that shows a Barnes Dance for cyclists (pedestrians are not include) in operation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkyuC7-CaIs This technique will also feature in a design guide written for Bicycle Victoria, which is to be published (I believe) before the end of 2009. I thus suggest that a section on this provision for cyclists be included.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Axel-schwede (talk • contribs) 23:49, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

message: 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)
replies: text: That would be crazy. Such intersections are countless. It would be hard to name all such intersections in, say, US, let alone whole world. Admiral Norton (talk) 17:21, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I wouldn't say there are "countless" such configurations, though I would say that the list could nonetheless become bloated.  My bigger concern would be in verifying any such locations that have been added to the list. --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 20:51, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Where Scrambles are common, it could be enough just to name that country. Where they are rare, then the city or exact location could be mentioned. There is a fairly new (from earlier 2010 to my knowledge) Pedestrian Scramble in Shanghai, at the crossing of Huaihai Road and Huangpi Road. I could contribute a photo if anyone cares.

thread_title:  Place Names 

message: at http://www.brooklyneagle.com/categories/category.php?category_id=27&id=26049 (DOT Gathers Locals To Help Re-Design “Gateway To Brooklyn” by Samuel Newhouse) I saw this mondegreen: It was also suggested that “barn-stands” be put in place at every intersection along Tillary, which would allow simultaneous crossing on all four sides and diagonal crossing from corner to corner — similar to what is permitted at Court and Montague streets in Downtown Brooklyn. I'm considering creating a redirect for "barn stands", given that both they and "Barnes dance" are both rare phrases. Mang (talk) 15:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

message: To add to this article: how were vehicles and pedestrians alerted to the fact that it was time for pedestrians to walk through the intersection? Was there a traffic light or bell? This really is basic information that should already have been in the article. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 01:53, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
