The Metrotown pedestrian scramble is located at the intersection of Central Boulevard and the Metrotown underground parkade access, near Metrotown SkyTrain station. As Burnaby’s first pedestrian scramble crossing, it improves safety and makes it easier to move through this busy area.
How to use the crossing
For pedestrians
Wait for the pedestrian signal
Cross in any direction, including diagonally
Follow posted signals, audio messaging and signage
For drivers
Stop during the pedestrian crossing phase
Right turns on red are not allowed at this intersection
Follow all traffic regulations
For cyclists
If crossing as a pedestrian, dismount and walk through the intersection
If riding on the roadway, follow the traffic signal (not pedestrian signal)
Some delays may happen, especially during busy times. We’ll continue to monitor the intersection and make adjustments if needed.
Supporting safer, more connected travel
This project is part of our ongoing work to improve safety and accessibility for all users. Many urban centres around the world, including downtown Vancouver, use pedestrian scramble crossings to improve safety and reduce conflicts.
