Go!

The street and rail tracks in front of Ocean Concrete on Granville Island, Vancouver, BC, Canada. Odd that they never say Go or Start.

Aside:

I lived in Kitsilano, Vancouver, many years ago and many intersecting residential streets didn’t have stop signs OR yield signs OR caution signs OR any pavement markings. I was told by locals it was just understood that you were supposed to stop and look both ways before proceeding and the person on your right has (you guessed it) - the Right of Way. I met several people who had been In accidents at these intersections. Back then, the accident and insurance rates in BC were very high compared to Ontario; I don’t know how they compare today. They’ve since installed stop signs, pavement markings, and mini roundabouts in Kitsilano.
