Van Nuys 'Scrambles' To Make Crosswalks Safer
VAN NUYS (CBSLA.com) — Safer crosswalks officially went into use Monday in Van Nuys.
The "scramble crosswalk" at the intersection of Sylvan Street and Sylmar Avenue is the San Fernando Valley's first "all-way" stop controlled diagonal crosswalk.
The location is in a busy area near Van Nuys City Hall, a library, and other government buildings.
The signals stop traffic in all directions and let pedestrians cross the intersection diagonally, in all directions.
