Where one basically walks across (diagonally) to cross the street instead of walking two crosswalks to get to the other corner in an intersection. (If you ever look in the Tokyo city crosswalks, everyone crosses regardless which way the crosswalks indicate.)
Well, since no cars were there, it was a tokyo crossing.

Dude, why would you walk two crosswalks when you can tokyo cross?
