Gallery:Puffin Crossing
I was asking about the height of speed limit signs. The one in the centre of the dual carriageway always seem very low down to me and I can't see any obvious reason why it should be so low.

The same view after Sandwell Council wasted taxpayers money on turning roads into obstacle courses - sorry, safer routes to school.

Microsense crossing in Bride outside a school. Quite a few crossings in the IOM have both nearside and farside displays. The crossing behaves like a puffin. Ped view from school side of the road.

Mast-arm pedestrian traffic lights in northern Cambridge. Should really be A1309, but this section is between the Mitchum's Corner junction and the Elizabeth Way roundabout (in the background), so counts as part of the Ring Road.

Alexandra Parade, Dennistoun, East Glasgow.
Here the A8 gets much more crowded compared to the D3 section just along the road in Carntyne

The wide alignment abruptly stops at the West end of Harthill, although a part of it has been used to good effect for a layby

Junction of old A12 and A1008, with Cambridge Park (now A106) ahead, with George Green on its left. The Green was left largely in its original state after the A12 works, but an old oak tree that was the focus of high-profile protests was cut down.

Shot looking northeast, with the old A1008 Wanstead High Street top left, and the ex-Eastern Avenue (now A12 slip-roads) on the top right, and the old A12 Cambridge Park (now A106, according to A-Z) on the left out of shot. The George pub is directly ahead.

These are equipped (unusually) with puffin detectors. Don't know if they work because they also have push buttons on some of the poles. Weird and messy installation. Possibly a test site?

The A12 beyond Gallows Corner is lit by 70s/80s gear-in-shoe MA60s. They are still standing as of May 2009, so they have done incredibly well so far! The puffin crossing in the foreground must be a recent addition, as it wasn't here when I last passed here about 8 years ago! This has meant that a ZX3 Zebra has been installed to light it - thankfully however surrounding MA60s haven't been replaced with SON lanterns, as has been seen on some council roads, which is always good!

View showing Ped neaside signals. There is a school near this site and so during school opening times I would imagine this crossing gets quite busy, hence the two layers of Ped signals.

You can see where the earlier ped units were ammended PBUs, as the button hasn't been cut by the CAM, but a recess has been cut.
