This problem is excruciating in West LA which made me think building crosswalk tunnels could have a substantial effect.
There's a few of these crosswalk tunnels in Westwood.
- cakedoggie 9y agoOr how about just forcing cars around these busy intersections. When there is too many people, they should just ban cars from these areas.
- sgc 9y agoCrosswalk tunnels tend to be dirty (urine etc.) and can be dangerous. I don't think they are an ideal solution for a city like LA.
- kalleboo 9y agoHow about crosswalk bridges? These are common here in Japan. http://photos.wikimapia.org/p/00/03/29/24/45_big.jpg http://photos.wikimapia.org/p/00/03/29/24/45_big.jpg
- icebraining 9y agoIt's often hard to make them accessible, though :(
- MereInterest 9y agoAgreed. Not only that, but if they are accessible, the ramps can add another 100 yards of walking or so. I timed it out once, and a full cycle of the lights occurred during the time that it took to cross the ramp.
- undersuit 9y agoI used to use a pedestrian bridge that had a circular ramp to get up both sides and an elevator. The elevator needed a key though, so I guess you did have to know where and how to get the key if you need to use the elevator.
