Spot the difference.

Hrm, i wonder if this was once a buckseye crossbuck setup.

Hmmmm...
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.4239265 ... 312!8i6656
When were these signals installed?
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.489137, ... 312!8i6656
These lights are pointing towards nowhere. How will these cars see them?
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.5397616 ... 312!8i6656
These lights are partially seperated for some reason.

A crossbuck crossing behind a gated crossing.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Buckeye crossbuck setups are pretty much exclusive to Ohio. The setup that you shared is used throughout Idaho.NathanFromEngland wrote:Hrm, i wonder if this was once a buckseye crossbuck setup.

That setup is kind of common in the Western and western Midwest states. The other crossbuck there is kind of interesting.NathanFromEngland wrote: A crossbuck crossing behind a gated crossing.
