Unguarded crossing.

Active crossing in Joensuu, North Karelia.

I wonder why there are extra crossbucks with advance warning signs? Maybe the signals are new?

Pretty much sounds like the teacher on Peanuts. :Smile: What is it "supposed" to say?

Found an older image of this signal in dis-repair between Tampa and Lakeland.

Looks like it gets hit on a regular basis (along with the guard rail in front of it):

It says "Walk sign is on to cross Battle Street." when the signal is giving the walk indication. It's the only one in that town that works, too.
