The concept of crossing refers to the act and result of crossing . This verb , in turn, can refer to the fact of crossing something over another element, forming a cross; to cross a path or a point; to confront an opinion or an idea; or to make two animals of different origin have babies.
For example: “Car accidents always occur at the intersection of these avenues,” “The crossing of the Andes Mountains was one of the great milestones of the army led by José de San Martín,” “The model went out to the intersection of the statements made by his former representative.”
In the road sector, the intersection of two or more roads or paths (streets, avenues, highways, etc.) is called a crossing. The crossing can occur at level (both paths are on the same surface) or uneven (one path is raised and the other is lower).
Interchanges require a lot of attention from drivers to avoid collisions. Depending on each intersection, the vehicle can turn left, right, make a U-turn or continue moving forward. Generally these movements are regulated by traffic signs and/or traffic lights.
Zebra crossings , pedestrian crossings or pedestrian paths are also called crossings. These are marked areas on the road where vehicles circulate that have the function of facilitating the crossing for pedestrians. Vehicles must stop before these areas and give way to those traveling on foot.
In the same way, at a popular level, we cannot ignore that the expression crossroads is also used. This is used to mention that a person is in a complicated moment in their life, in which they must decide. And you have several alternatives before you, whether professional or personal, and you must opt for one to continue facing your existence.
Likewise, we come across the existence of a film titled precisely “Crossroads.” In 2013, that one was released, which was directed by Derek Cianfrance and written by him along with Darius Marder and Ben Coccio.
Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes, Bradley Cooper, Ray Liotta and Rose Byrne are the actors who lead the cast of this police feature film. The story revolves around a motorcycle racer specialized in certain shows who decides to leave that life behind to focus on taking care of the son he had with an ex-partner.
Being able to support the family he now has will make the man decide to take advantage of his mastery with motorcycles to rob banks. However, it will not be easy for a new police officer who arrives at the scene and he is willing to put an end to all the existing corruption. The sooner you do this, the sooner you will be promoted in the department.
Likewise, there is a novel titled “Crossroads”, written by Carlos María Cabrerizo, which was published in 2016 and revolves around pain, love and hope.
When two different breeds of dogs are united in the same specimen, it is called crossbreeding. Crossbreeding results in hybrids such as the puggle , a cross between a pug and a beagle.
