ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

I still don't see a logic or pattern to the painted parallel lines vs. zebra stripes on the pedestrian crossings.  Mike Boos on facebook said that if there is a hand/walk signal, it gets them, and if it's just a stop sign, it doesn't - but that pattern doesn't hold with other intersections now that I have started specifically watching for them.

Pretty neat how quickly they can add the fancy red zebra crossings to an intersection. Would be interesting to see a video of how they stamp and colour the pattern (assuming this is how it is done).

These fancy crossings have now just gone in at Benton and Charles, sometime over night. Drove through that intersection last night and they weren't there. Perhaps we can't see the pattern of which intersections are getting these and which aren't, because they are still in progress.
