A bill that the state Senate passed on Monday would allow New York City to implement “scramble” crosswalks outside all of its schools, allowing little ones to safely cross the street without the specter of auto traffic.

The legislation, passed unanimously by Albany’s upper chamber, allows cities with populations of over 250,000 — a threshold met only by New York City and Buffalo — to convert intersections outside schools into scramble crosswalks, where vehicle traffic is stopped on all sides and pedestrians can cross in any direction, including diagonally.
