A pedestrian crossover is a type of crossing where drivers must come to a full stop to allow pedestrians to cross roads safely.
Pedestrian crossovers are located on streets between intersections, at roundabouts, or at right-hand turn lanes with specific signs and pavement markings. They are particularly helpful in areas where pedestrian volumes are high and controlled crossings are not convenient or accessible.
Pedestrian crossovers are implemented throughout the City as part of the City’s Vision Zero Action Plan.
Drivers must come to a full stop at crossovers to allow pedestrians to cross safely. If you do not stop completely for pedestrians at a crossover, you can be fined up to $1,000 and issued four demerit points on your driver’s licence. For more information, contact the Ministry of Transportation.
If you have any questions about pedestrian crossovers or signals, or want to report a pedestrian signal on a City road that’s not working properly, please call 311 (905-615-4311 outside City limits).
If you have a question or concern about a pedestrian signal on a regional road, please contact the Region of Peel.
