Pedestrian Crossovers (PXOs) are new to Ontario as a result of a law that was introduced under Bill 31: Making Ontario's Road Safer Act on January 1, 2016. This law allows municipal road authorities to install PXOs on low-speed and low-volume roads.
On or about the same time, Leamington Municipal Council approved an Active Transportation Master Plan which provides locations for on-and-off-road pedestrian and bicycle usage, such as recreational trails and on-road bicycle lanes. Many of the locations recommended for on-road bicycle facilities are adjacent to the locations of pedestrian crossings. Accordingly, the designs of the pedestrian crossings took into account the recommended Active Transportation Plan facilities at, or in the vicinity of, the PXO locations.
The recommended PXO configurations include pavement markings, signage, and street lighting at all locations. Amber flashing lights will also be included at some locations.

Remember: Pedestrians have the right-of-way! Drivers and cyclists must yield to pedestrians. Everyone is responsible to understand and follow the rules of the road as they move through a PXO.
