The City of St Thomas is installing a number of new button activated Pedestrian Crossovers to improve pedestrian safety. At these locations drivers are required by law to stop until pedestrians have fully crossed the road before proceeding. This is different than at typical intersections where drivers may proceed once a pedestrian has crossed halfway across the road.

Pedestrian Crossovers can have a few different layouts but are designed by these key elements: ‘Stop for Pedestrian’ signage, a triangular yield line painted on the road, and optional rapid flashing yellow beacons.

To get an idea of how these Crossovers visit the City of St. Thomas’s Pedestrian Crossover resource:
