Thats every intersection in St Louis :crazy:

MoDOT just put up a bunch of new countdown peds around here and no one uses them, they just cross wherever and whenever they want :Poof:

Ya Young and Dundas is one. It's weird though, they will time PEDs with the regular RYG head. So you get, Green + walk, then the ped clears as normal as the light goes amber and then after the 2 second all red all 12 PED heads go to Walk. They even have that screwed though, the diagonal heads will start to clear before the ones on the perimeter. I suppose that makes sense since the hypotenuse of the intersection is longer than any of the sides, but it looks weird haha. I'm sure my buddied in the traffic department had a hell of a time getting this one to work properly

  Never saw a 2 way ped signal on a "Slum Bracket" before!!  
Well what do you know. If I put my name here, I do not have to sign it everytime.
