Puzzle by David Chapus, edited by Will Shortz
This Thursday crossword features four squares with the multiple letters, PED, the traffic sign abbreviation for “pedestrian.” Signaled by the center entry, PEDXING (39A. Street sign … or a hint to this puzzle’s theme), the resulting interrelated entries are COU[PED]EVILLES (17A. Classic Cadillacs) crossing EX[PED]ITES (4D. Hastens); CA[PED]CRUSADER (60A. Batman, with “The”) crossing TY[PED]UP (53D. Prepared, as a report); SHAR[PED]GED (11D. Like a saber) crossing S[PED]BY (25A. Passed quickly); TA[PED]ELAYS (38D. Features of many Olympics broadcasts) and BI[PED]AL (44A. Like humans and ostriches).
Two who may miss the sign -- MAGOO (30A. “Mr.” whose first name is Quincy) and ODIN (37A. One-eyed god of myth).
Look out for this guy at any PEDXING!
