Do Not Walk

Even the ::Do Not Walk:: signs have a crafted to them. There used to be an old fashioned crosswalk sign like this one in San Francisco next to Civic Center.

San Francisco was the first place I lived as an adult where most people adhered to the ::Do Not Walk:: signs. New York City it seemed you could stop in the middle of the street, have a telephone conversation, and tie your shoes.

Granted, they would honk horns, but other pedestrians and most drivers could care less.

The crosswalk sign is serious business here. I have seen one lane alleys with a sign where there are no cars for several hundred yards in either direction and people will patiently wait for the sign to change.

The subways are strangely clean and orderly. I will post a photo and description of how the underground here works another day.
