I was just musing on the new signs our fair city to the East has
planted in the median of many streets it hopes to make pedestrian
friendly. They are neon green with black lettering and a picture. They
say "Yield to Pedestrian in Crosswalk State Law" or something like
that. They're about 10 to

I believe one plan is to put displays at some bus
stops giving bus ETA times.
