The real shape of a crossing
![The real shape of a crossing illustration: as cars and a cyclist stop at a red light for pedestrians to cross the road, we see that people on foot start crossing before they reach the designated crossing area that is typically perpendicular to the road.](https://images.prismic.io/sketchplanations/16adb94d-567c-43f2-9cca-1d49bb792c49_161669075246.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=max&w=3840&q=50)
I think it would be interesting if we could see the real shape of your favourite crossing marked on the road. It’d probably help more people cross and traffic get stopped less. And, hopefully, no casualties.
