I cannot even fathom how that ramp even works, or why it's even there! Why not just have traffic turn left up there at the intersection? :Blink:

Very interesting...
-----------------------------------
I wonder if these gates are for the crossing?
-----------------------------------
Odd SORS signs.

https://www.google.com/maps/@41.7960883 ... 6656?hl=en
The SORS sign went was missing in 2015.
-----------------------------------
Wasn't me!
-----------------------------------
These SORS signs are also kind of odd.

-----------------------------------
Odd place to install the SORS signs.

I was browsing through Streetview for movable bridges and I found this Wigwag on display for a station/visitor center/whatever for a heritage railway!
