Okay, I dunno if it's just been me, but has Google Street View/maps in general been laggy these past two days for anyone else? Not only that, but rather pixellated as well. :TDOWN:

I should mention it's happening in Chrome as well.

Google Maps has been quite terrible, especially the new version. The "lite" version is moderately better, though.

Well its very true. Actually I use Mozilla Firefox, and when I try to use google even the map view without satelite images lags too! :Curse1: Or if I at my school street view can not display because google does not support my server. :glare:

This is kind of a unique setup, these gates are for a crossing that is by an entrance to an industrial plant, instead of using separate gates for the plant entrance, they just use the crossing gates by having them down unless someone enters or leaves the plant. Some crossings in Poland still have manual gates. This is in Pulawy, Lublin Voivodeship.: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mosto ... !1e1?hl=en

Rittman, Ohio:
Originally a gated crossing, the gates and lights were removed when the street was closed to through traffic.

The gate guide is sure doing a fine job there! :Roll:
