Guerrilla crosswalk information


Chalked crossing drawn during 2013 Viva Streets Austin

A guerrilla crosswalk is a pedestrian crossing that has been modified or created without jurisdictional approval, and with the intent of improving pedestrian and other non-automobile safety. These interventions are a common strategy within tactical urbanism, a type of low-cost, often temporary change to the built environment intended to improve local livability.[1] Guerilla crosswalks have been noted in news articles since at least 2009 and have become more well known as an urban strategy in recent years.[2] The first known example of guerilla crosswalks can be found in Canada in 1987 when social activists John Valeriote and Erik Veldman created a crosswalk in Guelph, Ontario for students to safely cross a busy road in front of their school.[citation needed]
