railroad crossing at the defunct thrill-ville
couldn't quit until there were no pixels left to punish.
CTA 4271 and 4272 cross the main branch of the Chicago River on Wells St as they pull into the Merchandise Mart Sta.
Crossing the Tiber one night into Trastevere from central Rome, we took the Ponte Sisto and immersed ourselves in the joyful ambiance of the neighborhood as we found our way home from supper.
Much of the world has similar, but distinctively different, signs for road crossings. So, I want to build a collection of them.
I currently have the following taken by myself:
France + France (2),
Hungary + Hungary (2) + Hungary (3),
Kosovo + Kosovo (2),
Plus some unofficial variations:
I also know of the following others on Flickr:
Help me find a complete set. Please comment or message me if you know of others!
Seen from the railroad tracks, the Dean Street crossing received a new crossing surface in preparation for South Coast Rail.
I eyeballed this shot during daylight hours and made plans for an attempt during the blue hour. Originally I wanted to freeze the eastbound but it arrived a bit too dark and I didn't want to ratchet up the iso too too much. Enjoy
My wife was playing around with the multi-burst feature on the new Sony DSC-H2 and caught the girls mid-flight.
I also decided to convert a lot of Amazon Prime trucks into ice cream trucks with electric swing arm stop signs like on school buses and the current yellow trapezoid Children Slow Crossing warning blades that word "CHILDREN SLOW CROSSING" to replace all of the older ice cream trucks that still have the old red trapezoid Children Slow Crossing warning blades that word "IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO". All of the older ice cream trucks that still have the old former red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blade that word "IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO" will all be torn apart and have their pieces be used as new McDonald's PlayPlace play equipments replacing the dangerous crawl tubes and ball pits since McDonald's also has been making safety improvements to their PlayPlaces by using better play equipments seen athttps://playtime.com/showcases/towers/mcdonalds-playplace-solutions/ replacing the nasty dangerous crawl tubes and ball pits and some of the newer McDonald's PlayPlaces like the epic one in Orlando has arcade games. The Amazon Prime Trucks that are converted into Ice Cream Trucks will go to Mister Softee, Wholesale Clubs such as Costco and BJ's, and other ice cream truck service on safety updates on ice cream trucks. But there will always be brick and mortar stores in real life and Due to that New Jersey was the slowest on phasing out the bad old outdated red trapezoid Children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO because of some mean teachers at school forcing some ice cream trucks to keep their red trapezoid and made a bad and mean-spirited law of ice cream trucks requiring those bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO which is extremely confusing to people who are death, color blind, can't read or don't speak English in some of New Jersey, I hereby MOST Amazon warehouses in New Jersey to all be converted into Blue's Clues Handy Dandy Notebook prop replica manufacturing plants and convert most Amazon prime trucks in New Jersey into better and safe updated ice cream trucks with the good awesome current updated yellow trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word CHILDREN SLOW CROSSING and School bus stop signs which are octagon shape for the state of New Jersey to also include disabled people in the future too and tear apart the last remaining of the ice cream trucks with the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO and recycle all of them into brand new Blue's Clues Handy Dandy notebook prop replicas and reuse the arm the bad old outdated red trapezoid Children Slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO for the brand new stop signs of the new school buses of the future.
Corpach Level Crossing on the West Highland Line, in 2010 when it was an automatic open crossing (AOCL), it was converted to automatic half-barriers (AOCL+B) in 2013.
Box sign
Harlescott Crossing box is situated on the edge of Shrewsbury and in theory worked to Crewe Bank but this had effectively been switched out for the previous five years when this photo was taken thus it normally worked to Crewe Junction. In the opposite direction it worked to Wem. The box again is clearly of London North Western origin containing a 38 lever stirrup handle frame. It dates from 1882 but looks as if it has been extended at some stage in it's life.
Seen on Thursday 4th October 2012 in it's 130th year.
Over the weekend of Friday 11th October 2013 to Monday 14th October 2013 the boxes at Nantwich Station, Wrenbury, Prees, Wem, Harlescott Crossing and Crewe Bank between Crewe Gresty Lane and Shrewsbury Crewe Junction were abolished. Whitchurch box had been demolished some time previously although the signals were still extant but bagged over. Crewe Bank had not been rostered since August 2007.
The last train to be signalled under AB working was 6V71 the Carlisle – Margam limestone, the signaller at Crewe Junction knocked out at 23.13 with the possession granted at 23.58. Harlescott Crossing sent 7 5 5 at midnight for the final time and absolute block working formally came to an end at 00.20 on Saturday 12th October 2013 after something in the region of 130+ years.
The Crewe – Shrewsbury line was chosen as one of two test lines for the installation of “modular signalling” which as I understand it aims to significantly reduce the cost of re signalling. Cheap single head fibreglass post signals devoid of ladders allied to obstacle detection level crossings all controlled and monitored from a new IECC (integrated electronic control centre) or ROC (Route operating centre) seem to form the backbone of the system. The system clearly was not straight forward as the implementation of the scheme has been postponed several times and indeed when I took these photo’s in October 2012 the closure was expected two weeks later, in reality it was deferred by a further year.
A pedestrian crossing installed on Queen's Park Road in Handbridge has proved a great success with local residents.
Local Councillor Razia Daniels said: "Local people were telling me how they really needed a pedestrian crossing as the traffic can be so very busy.

One of the most ridiculous pedestrian initiatives are the provision of bright orange flags for pedestrians to take when crossing at a marked crosswalk. This crosswalk in Dartmouth (Halifax) has signs, a zebra crossing, and even flashing lights. Yet they expect pedestrians to use these flags. That's not Zero Vision.
Accidental crossing into the frame...glad he did.....
Poznan, Poland
A street with a name I cannot pronounce...yet.

On the U.S. Bank Main Stage
Crossing Mnisose (“minne-show-she”) tells the story of one of America's first feminists, Sacajawea, and draws a line from a completely original view of Lewis and Clark to the present day, as descendants of the Dakota and Lakota Nations continue their fight for the Mnisose (or what Europeans named the “Missouri River”) and the lands that contain the burials of their ancestors. From celebrated playwright, activist, and attorney Mary Kathryn Nagle (Cherokee Nation), whose Manahatta captivated audiences at Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
