The new pedestrian crossover (PXO) at the entrance to Canatara Park (Christina at Cathcart) was installed on Tuesday, June 26, 2018, in time for Canada Day celebrations.
A pedestrian crossover is different from a crosswalk; it is identified by specific signs, pavement markings and lights; some have illuminated overhead lights/warning signs and pedestrian push buttons.
“In time for Canada Day festivities, the new PXO provides a safe location for pedestrians to access Canatara Park. Staff have included additional lights at this PXO for extra visibility due to its location at an intersection and multi-turning lane road,” explains Mike Berkvens.
Directions for pedestrians:
Push the button to activate the flashing lights, make sure the driver can see
you and has come to a complete stop before you begin to cross.
Directions for drivers:
By law, you must stop and yield to pedestrians intending to cross and wait for
them to completely cross the intersection before proceeding.
