Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Huh, never seen this before. I just now came across this while zooming into New York City. Appears that this is for the NYC Half Marathon but I don't know what this new graphic thing actually represents, I'm also not a hundred percent sure that this is new, this is just the first time I've seen it.

It likely is new, but what's difficult to understand about it? It's just a line showing the marathon route.

Not really sure what this new graphic thing represents, I know that it is for the marathon route but I'm not sure if the new type of graphic is for marathons or "heavy traffic expected" or something else.

Based on the outline path it's taking, I'd say it's the marathon route itself.

Well, in the GSV links, the lights on the other signals weren't lighting up at all, and of course the crossing is not activated if you navigate to the other side....

My fault for not watching the video...

It's Sunday after church, let me continue to be tired...

This is old news but I thought it would be worth mentioning that Japan still uses the old graphic for railroad tracks, but they also feature the name of the rail line which is something that the old graphics did not do.



There is also a blue version!



Japan also uses other graphics for railroad tracks.

Japan in general with Google Maps is different.
