I have yet to use the scramble crossing honestly. It's driving me crazy. By scrambling "honestly" I mean: arriving at Yonge and Dundas needing to cross diagonally, and being presented by an opportunity to do so immediately, rather than within 2 or 3 light changes. Everyone else gets to scramble; I am straight-crossing like a jerk while the rest of the world goes fanny-dan-dango diagonally.

Now, there are people I know who are not scrambling honestly, who are so hell-bent to scramble that they are waiting one or two light rotations for an opportunity to scramble before initiating their cross. This is fine, but defeats the purpose; the scramble crossing was designed to get us where we need to go faster, not to make us wait. It is certainly not there just to showcase the wonders of the geometric center of the Yonge/Dundas intersection. The air is no purer there. The center of the grid is simply (on the occasion that one must either go from the Eaton Center to Toronto Life Square, or from that thing that used to be the Gap to Dundas Square) the shortest distance between two points. But not for me. I remain imprisoned by right angles.

Fedge.
