What's missing here? Something's not normal, but it takes a moment to realize, there are no curbs -- the sidewalk and the street are at the same level.
That's not just friendlier for pedestrians, it's great for people using wheelchairs, who don't need to go down to the corner curb cut to get down to street level, then back up the street in traffic to get to their cars.
The darker stripes of roadway are pervious pavement for drainage without gutters.
Without curbs, turning cars are kept in the roadway at intersections with bollards on every corner. The turning radius of the corner is indicated with different pavement colors rather than a curb.
Steel truss bridge across Delaware River linking Pond Eddy, NY (background) and Shohola Township (foreground, with USGS river gauging station.)
A short period of time in December 2014 the bridge at Lakeridge was closed to all traffic as work continued.

I led another fun tour of Portland bike facilities and networks. This group was a combination of two delegations that were in Portland this week. One was an international group from Europe that came to the Blue Ribbon Task Force on Trails at Metro. Others were here for a Progressive Cycling Cities Coalition meeting.
I've gotten pretty good at the whole "give dignitaries a bike tour of Portland" thing.
It's astounding that lil' ol' me can, by my mere arrival, command the movement of this machinery. But believe me, I still say "please"and "thank you," beacuse it's the right thing to do. And those doors could crush me like an eggshell.

Believe it or not this train was moving when I took the photo.

DB Cargo OBA 'Bass' dropside open wagon 110170 at Wilson's Crossing, Kingsthorpe, Northampton, in the consist of 6Y58; Crewe Basford Hall to Wembley Central loaded engineers', 22nd October 2016.
Looking across Camp Far West Lake (reservoir) from the top of the dam. The dam was completed in 1963 and provides water for the Central Valley Water Project.
Aerial construction shots of the new I-70 bridge between St. Clair County Illinois and St. Louis City. These photos were taken in August 2013.
A new roundabout at the junction of New Fosse Way and Aston Webb Boulevard. Theses roads were built as part of the Selly Oak New Road scheme. The scheme consists of a relief road taking pressure off Bristol Road through Bournbrook / Selly Oak, with a link to the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The footway here is probably a shared use pedestrian / cycle path.
This entrance to the 191st Street station leads to a three-block-long tunnel that runs horizontally through the side of a hill. By the time you reach the train platform, there's 180 feet of rock separating you from the streets above you, making this the deepest station in the subway system. (Believe it or not, the next station to the north, Dyckman Street, is above ground; the hill atop this station drops off quite abruptly as you head north.)
In 1947, Victor Hess — a professor at Fordham University in the Bronx who won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of cosmic rays — needed to find a convenient location "to carry out experiments on the radiation emitted from rocks at a location well protected from cosmic rays." He asked the Board of Transportation if he could conduct his experiments in the 191st Street station, its depth inside the hill preventing the vast majority of cosmic rays from reaching it. While he didn't end up using this station, he did set up shop in the nearby 190th Street station on the A line, which is also buried deep inside a cliff, about 160 feet below ground.
Frost sticks to the roof of the 121 year old Dalton Junction signal box as Northern's CAF built 195123 passes on 29th November 2023 with 1C55 1029 Manchester Airport to Barrow.
A mere 117 years separates the two pieces of kit!
Pole shot.
On the Houtribdijk dam, there are locks at both ends at Lelystad and also at Enkhuizen. Probably as the traffic was too heavy, at Enkhuizen a "level-free crossing" (this case and aquaduct) was retrofitted (I mean the old dike road is still there, cut by the water route).
Houtribdijk is a dam built part of the Zuiderzee works to transform the dangerous ocean bay into a range of artificial lakes and polders. By cutting the IJsselmeer in the seventiesbetween Lelystad and Enkhuizen, Houtribdijk created the new Markermeer in the south, as the plan to turn this part into another polder is currently out of agenda.
