Taken 22/07/12: I was in Wool for the D’Urberville Dash 10K and took the opportunity to snap the signal box (incidentally the Station Building must be one of the ugliest on the National Network). Based on the following from the SEG web-site, this may have been a timely snap:
“Next year [2013?] the line between Parkstone and Weymouth will be re-signalled, with control then from Basingstoke ASC. Signal boxes to be closed are Poole, Hamworthy, Wareham , Wool and Dorchester South. … Wool … dates from the 1890s and appears to have original frames. … [and has] been altered over the years … the Network SouthEast extension … is far from sympathetic to the original structure."
Looks like I’ll have to try and get to Poole and Hamworthy in the near future.

Duke Street Crossing signal box 5 signal (Up Home) with Aughton Road signal box Up fixed distant signal / Birkdale signal box Up Main fixed outer distant signal below it with 2 signal (Down Home) with Portland Street signal box Down Birkdale fixed distant signal / Southport Chapel Street signal box Down Birkdale fixed outer distant signal below it beyond the level crossing. Friday 18th January 1991
Duke Street signal box was located by the Down Main line alongside Duke Street level crossing in Southport and was a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company standard design fitted with a 12 lever Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company Tappet frame that opened in 1921 replacing an 1878-built Saxby & Farmer signal box located on the opposite side of the level crossing. The signal box was reduced to a non block post controlling the adjacent level crossing only on 14th June 1953 when the absolute block section was extended to between Southport South and Birkdale signal boxes. The level crossing gates were replaced by manned barriers on 22nd April 1990. The signal box was closed at 19:00 on 11th March 1994 and was demolished almost immediately although officially abolished on 21st March 1994 when control of the level crossing passed to Merseyrail signal box by means of closed circuit television
2 and 5 signals are both carried on British Railways London Midland Region tubular steel posts

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.

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!

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.
Finally a warm stretch of weather, after weeks of cold temperatures... I was able to spend several hours outside today on a long walk... And at times it was also very bright with harsh sunlight...

Disused border crossing from Chałupki (PL) - to Bohumín (CZ). In January 2007 motorized traffic was diverted to a new bridge a few hundred meters west. On 21 December 2007 the control booths were left by border guards under the Schengen Agreement, allowing for free passage (at this location pedestrians and cyclists only).

Jefferson Crossing (127,149 square feet)

This shopping center was built as Denbigh Crossing in 1986, and the name changed to Jefferson Crossing in 2009. The road sign pictured here was installed in 2008, replacing the shopping center's original sign.
St Mary, Kemp Town, Brighton
St Mary is one of three vast Anglo-catholic temples built in Brighton in the late 19th Century to serve the rapidly growing terraced streets of the poor. The other two are St Bartholomew off of London Road and St Martin on Lewes Road. St Mary does not keep that tradition of worship, but enough survives in its High Church fixtures and fittings to give a sense of what once was.
This is the only English church by the colonial architect William Emerson, who was mostly responsible for churches and railway stations in India. The interior, larger than that of St Bartholomew although of course by no means as tall, is made to seem more cavernous by the vaulting of the nave and crossing. The view to either east or west is towards grandness, but the space in between feels very empty, not helped by the large Dec windows filled with deep coloured stained glass windows by a variety of 19th Century workshops, mostly good in themselves but comprising an uneasy overall scheme.
The church is used regularly for concerts in this part of town which no longer feels independent or suburban, for the city centre has crept up St James Street to meet it.

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, from which it derives its name. A zebra crossing typically gives extra rights of way to pedestrians and not actual Zebras.

The child at the edge of the hand rail holds paper currency as he glances beyond the camera. The male adult in the background looks while holding his lip. The last figure, the female, is especially curvaceous. The delicate shadows of the basket and railing add detail and wonderment to the scene and its symbolic value. El Mina, Ghana, W. Africa
A BRIDGE CROSSING
@ THE FESTIVAL GARDENS
In 1984, a former household tip site adjacent to the River Mersey was transformed into the country’s first ever garden festival. The International Garden Festival was a concept born from the Conservative government to regenerate Liverpool and drive tourism to the city in the wake of the Toxteth riots and industrial decline. A five month pageant from May to October, the International Garden Festival attracted some 3.4 million visitors with its mix of 60 ornamental gardens from all parts of the world and the centrepiece Festival Hall which contained various floral displays. When the festival closed its doors, a large part of the site was developed into residential housing, while the remainder experienced various incarnations as leisure and entertainment facilities, until it was left derelict in 1997 to fall into disrepair. In 2007, Liverpool City Council granted Langtree planning permission to develop a residential-led regeneration scheme of the festival gardens which included the restoration of the formal gardens and the development of 1,300 homes. This new dawn for the Festival Gardens has been a long time coming and represents a unique opportunity to create a public park which is befitting the spirit of the Garden Festival movement. The redevelopment work began in February 2010 and will see the Japanese gardens, sculptures, lakes and associated watercourses restored ahead of its re-opening. The Festival Gardens project is being managed by The Land Trust on behalf of the land owner Langtree and Liverpool City Council thanks to a grant of £3.7m from the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA). This work is the first step in the regeneration of the site which will ultimately see new residential development sitting alongside the newly opened park.The site is situated on Riverside Drive, Liverpool.

Kangaroo crossing!
Can you imagine objects coming to life? Sounds pretty fun but its actually pretty scary if you really think about it.
