A crossing that allows you to cross diagonally has opened in London.

I really like this idea, in many parts of the country pedestrians are made to feel like second class citizens and it can take an age to cross the road. On a route I often take there is no crossing and I have to go across at a strange angle due to those ghastly barriers and the stupid placement of crossings so I hope it's used safely and can be implemented elsewhere!
