Walking in Waterloo Region

[ijmorlan]

I'd initially suggested King and University too.  Logical because the diagonal would be useful just as much as the other directions.  University and Segram, just seems like students are crossing University.

University and Seagram is not a good location. Almost everybody who needs to cross both ways is going to/from campus, and can “cross” Seagram north of Ring Road. Pedestrian scrambles are highly beneficial where there is a lot of demand for crossing both streets right at that particular crossing location, or at least very high demand for crossing each street individually. At Seagram, people coming from campus can just pick the appropriate crossing of Ring Road to end up on the correct side of Seagram. I haven’t camped out at the intersection and counted, but I predict that a detailed study would show few people crossing Seagram at University.
