Okay how about:

Corner girdle
Pedestrian hourglass
Butterfly intersection
Safety curbs
Sidewalk pops (poppers? popping?)
Enhanced car queue point

… and I’m out.

Wow, this video has turned out some real nice suggestions! Keep them coming. I am glad I don’t have to actually judge….

I’m going for E.S.P., Enhanced Sightline for Pedestrians. It may sound clunky, but engineers love acronyms, and there’s a certain beauty to calling a new project an “ESP Project.”

I like sightlining! What about something along the lines of stepping up to the line

Okay, here are a few random ideas:

Sightlining
Line of sight crosswalk
Intersection ventilation or Intersection vent(s) (since the cars are choking it)
Crosswalk visibility release point
Visibility gate
Curb pop-outs
Crosswalk vent
Corner bump
Turning bump out
Crosswalk bumper

And that is all I got.

How about Ped-O-Files since they file away parking spots for pedestrians.

I’m not really crazy about “Pedestrian Peek-a-boo;” it’s a little too cutesy for my taste. However, right now I’m not coming up with anything better, so I’d love to see other people’s suggestions!
