Cross rail tracks only...

posted by Paul
Railway crossing"Cross rail tracks only when area beyond is clear" is what the sign says. After crossing this particular piece of rail, motorists have only a couple of metres before they encounter a traffic light.

Perhaps some unfortunate motorist once had to reverse faster than a pregnant woman at a chocolate exhibition after the vehicle in front came to a halt at the red light. Or, perhaps the city council was smart enough to realise that drivers are often much like sheep. Whichever it is, this sign certainly is large enough to catch anyone's attention.

Even though it's so big, I'm sure most people don't even notice it let alone read it :)

Scary!!...I could have done with this photo a few weeks back (mind you only if it had been taken by me!) as I set the photo challenge on a forum I belong to and the subject matter was 'Signs'. This would have been a good one....although we did have some really interesting and weird ones and when you look around it's amazing what you see.!!

This is what we would call a super dangerous place to have your car stall or the traffic is heavy and you are stuck behind the light and on the tracks.

I made it this morning to look at your post and then I am off for a lung test. I hope to be finished with all tests and back to normal by the 12th or soon thereafter.

Your photograph is really nice, as usual.
