Canada specific, but…
Diagonal crossing is a thing in Quebec City at certain intersections which stop the traffic flow in every direction.
Otherwise I only ever do it when I cannot see any cars which is fairly common at night in rural areas.
- whafro 3y agoMy family calls that sort of intersection “the doublecross”
- cafard 3y agoFifty or sixty years ago in Denver it was called the "Barnes Dance" after the traffic commissioner who instituted it. My recollection is that only downtown intersections had the necessary signals, but then it has been years since I have been back.
- dixie_land 3y agoThe intersection to Pike Place Market is an all way crossing (to your point we're pretty cloae to Canada :) ): https://maps.app.goo.gl/wG1Eq4E1StVjCSj18?g_st=ic https://maps.app.goo.gl/wG1Eq4E1StVjCSj18?g_st=ic

- _jal 3y agoThere are a few 4-way stops in San Francisco, mostly in the financial district. One at 4th & Folsom. In general, I routinely jaywalk here, traffic permitting. If nobody's coming, I just walk. In over 20 years, I've never heard of anyone getting a jaywalking ticket in SF.
