Are crossovers and crosswalks the same thing?
No.
A crosswalk is found at intersections that are often controlled by stop signs or light sets.
A crossover can be located at non-intersection locations. At a crossover motorists are legally required to stop to allow people to cross the road.
Cost: Crossovers are up to 80% cheaper than signalized intersections.
Efficiency: They are on-demand. They only activate when someone is ready to cross the road.
Flexibility: Municipalities have the flexibility to put crossovers anywhere there is a need to provide a safe crossing.
