The statement is true because a pedestrian scramble stops all motor vehicle traffic with red signals across the entire intersection, allowing pedestrians to cross in any direction, including diagonally.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the traffic signal control type described in the statement.
The statement describes an exclusive pedestrian signal phase (pedestrian scramble).
Recognizing the signal type defines the legal rules and rights-of-way for both drivers and pedestrians.
2
Evaluate the vehicle stopping and pedestrian movement rules for this signal phase.
Vehicular signals display solid red lights for all lanes, stopping all traffic to allow pedestrians to cross in any direction across the intersection.
Exclusive pedestrian signals eliminate all potential vehicle-pedestrian conflict points during the designated walk interval.
