Tredington Crossing is located between Cheltenham and Ashchurch. The crossing keeper's lodge dates from the opening of the line by the Birmingham & Gloucester Railway in 1840. It may have originally been a single storey building with the second storey added at a later date. The design is clearly derived from a roadside tollhouse and all the original windows were narrow and situated on the railway side of the building only - a result of the unpopular window tax which was not repealed until 1851. Unfortunately the narrow, paired windows on the top floor have been replaced by larger modern units.
When this picture was taken on 8th August 1989 the crossing was in the process of being automated and the building had been vacated prior to demolition, which occurred the following year.
A similar crossing lodge survives at nearby Brockhampton and another of very similar design but built by the Bristol & Gloucester Railway can be found at Oldends Lane Crossing, Stonehouse.

Diagonal crossing. Isn't this smart?
The Second Severn Crossing (Welsh: Ail Groesfan Hafren) is a bridge which carries the M4 motorway over the River Severn between England and Wales, inaugurated on 5 June 1996 by Charles, Prince of Wales to augment the traffic capacity of the original Severn Bridge built in 1966. The bridge marks the lower limit of the River Severn and the start of the Severn Estuary.
The Shoots channel is the deepest section along the width of the Severn estuary, and a longer span was required to ease the passage of shipping under this section. The central bridge section, called the Shoots Bridge, is of cable-stayed design and the central span (between the bridge pylons) is 456 m (1,500 ft) in length. The approach viaducts are of a segmental bridge design. Its Welsh end is near Sudbrook, Monmouthshire and its English end at Severn Beach in South Gloucestershire. The crossing forms a gentle S shape and near the English side crosses over the top of the Severn railway tunnel.
The sides of the bridge are fitted with special railings to reduce lateral wind loads coming from the Severn estuary onto the traffic and this has reduced the number of times that speed restrictions have been needed. The overall design of the new crossing makes it more resistant to high winds than the old Severn Bridge.
The newest crossing over the Clyde opened on Friday 15th May and already has been nicknamed "The Squiggly Bridge"
Q398's freshly painted lead unit contrasts with the weathered YN2 SD40-2 behind it as Q398 eases across the bridge at Harpers Ferry, WV.
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!
A zebra crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing used in many places around the world. Its distinguishing feature is alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface, resembling the coat of a zebra. A zebra crossing typically gives priority to pedestrians.
Zebra crossings were originally introduced in law by section 18 of the Road Traffic Act 1934.
Although the origin of the name is disputed, it is generally attributed to British MP James Callaghan who, in 1948, visited the country's Transport Research Laboratory which was working on a new idea for safe pedestrian crossings. On being shown a black and white design, Callaghan is said to have remarked that it resembled a zebra.
After isolated experiments, the zebra crossing was first used at 1,000 sites in the United Kingdom in 1949 in its original form of alternating strips of blue and yellow. They were introduced nationally in 1951.
In 1971, the Green Cross Code was introduced to teach children safer crossing habits, replacing the earlier "kerb drill".
Well, I'm not crossing over the railway line from this point as that would be more than dangerous! Just looking along the railway line towards Prestwick Railway Station and the pedestrian crossing!

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.

National Route A006 (Argentina)
National Route A006 is a gravel road of 8.5 km (5.3 mi) connecting the town of Las Cuevas on the nortwhest of the province of Mendoza with the Christ the Redeemer monument in the border between Argentina and Chile. This road is only open in the summer season. It is always important to inquire in the cities of Mendoza or Uspallata on the road conditions as it could be impassable at times. In it winding length it changes altitude from 3,151 m (10,338 ft) to 3,832 m (12,572 ft).
Before the construction of the Cristo Redentor Tunnel, the road was the only border crossing between the two countries in this area.
