I had never encountered anything like this before, where pedestrians can cross to the opposite corner of the crossroads, as well as across each individual road. Not knowing how this system worked at the time, and dissuaded by the busyness of the junction and lack of tactile paving, I proceeded the 'normal' way. I know now, of course, that this is an actual thing which exists.
