Talk about other non-signal stuff here. Make sure to obey the rules though.

Traffic light wig-wags there! :TUP1:
The Isle of Man Railway uses those on all of their public signalized crossings.

I did some looking around and noticed that. Still pretty cool, though.
They/Them for me, please.

There is this crossing that is kind of private that has these odd signals.

This school crossing also uses the same type of signal.

I, unlike many others, made sure to wave with ALL of my fingers!

I think they only light up when the regular traffic signals facing the other direction are green.
My guess is that it is for the train engineers to know that cross traffic is stopped.

Also, check out this one signal wonder a few blocks down: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.8586702 ... 6656?hl=en

Unfortunately it appears those tracks are no longer in use:

I caught the Street View car in Brandon, FL today! Unfortunately, I didn't see it in time (since the light was green) and I accidentally rolled down the wrong window to wave my hand out of! :Doh:

I'll see if they captured my car in the near future, since I did wave through my windsheild :LOL3:

Google caught me driving to work back in April. For some reason, I can't seem to find it on Streetview again at the moment, but luckily I took a screen shot of it when it was on there:

My van also can be seen at my job several times.

And... back in 2012 when I lived in Illinois it can be seen parked in my driveway: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7803351 ... 6656?hl=en

Well, Google did capture my car back in June 2015 while I was at work...

It's the Versa parked by the tree.
