crosswalks - 2025 ACF Nationals

Tossup

To study people’s behavior in these areas, Amir Rasouli et al. introduced a 2017 benchmark dataset with over 337,000 bounding boxes. During a 2010 festival, one of these areas in Zürich was decorated like a package of McDonald’s french fries. A man who held office in Denver names the Barnes dance, a behavior enabled by some of these things. In the U.K., the sensor-equipped puffin type of these areas is replacing the older pelican model, which had themselves reduced (10[1])the use (10[1])of (10[1])Belisha beacons by these areas. They aren’t train or subway stations, but the busiest (-5[2])of these places (-5[1])in the world (-5[1])is by a statue (10[1])of the dog Hachiko (-5[1])in Tokyo’s (10[1])Shibuya (10[2]-5[1])area. (10[2]-5[1])The Slough (10[1])(“slao”) experiment found an optimal design for these places named for resembling (10[1])zebra stripes. (10[2])For 10 points, what type of path (10[2])do the Beatles step along (10[1])on the cover of Abbey Road? ■END■ (10[4]0[1])

ANSWER: crosswalks [or pedestrian crossings; accept zebra crossings; accept marked crosswalks; accept pedestrian scrambles; prompt on intersections; prompt on roads or streets; prompt on curbs; prompt on driverless cars or automobiles until “Zürich” is read by asking “what areas in which those might be operating?”]
