HOLLYWOOD AND HIGHLAND SCRAMBLE
The recent safety improvement at Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue is one example of an early win for Vision Zero . Prior to the intervention , Hollywood and Highland was averaging ten injury collisions per year . In November 2015 , a scramble crosswalk was installed at the intersection . The scramble allows people to walk through the intersection in all directions while vehicles idle . When the signal changes , vehicles can make their movements without waiting for people to cross the street . Six months after installation , there were zero deaths or serious injury collisions . In a broader study , scramble crosswalks have been shown to lead to a 35-percent reduction in vehicular collisions with people walking . 11
