Next Stop: Shopping in Cork
Three women wait at the traffic lights on Grand Parade. They’ve all been shopping in NEXT.
It’s odd what Lightroom sometimes does to a photo when you correct for lens distortion.
And that #BegButton for the #PedestrianCrossing? Even in the most perfect non-#winter conditions, it favours vehicular traffic so much that I am often NOT QUITE all the way to the curb on the other side.
Again, busy 4-lane feeder road with plenty of roaring traffic.

Nineteen-ninety-something: DfT says to stop relying on PV2 for deciding whether to install pedestrian crossings/what form they should take.
Fast-forward to 2024, and in a meeting I hear someone say “we should now move away from using PV2.”
I shit you not. There are times when it seems like some people have somehow just missed the last two decades.

Another scare while crossing at a zebra crossing. This one was too close for comfort. #mastodaoine #roadsafety #rsa #pedestriancrossing #pedestrian #driving #cars
Busy crossing (didn't deter a taxi from deciding this was a good spot for a U-turn, mind you)
The video transitions projected on these panels are something like this sequence, at the Bean & Leaf Café on #GrandParade in #CorkCity: https://vimeo.com/811283274
This one shows a #LongExposure of the place, transitioning into a speeded-up timelapse, composite frame motion trails, a moving heatmap of the successive #pedestrian and #vehicle phases of the #PedestrianCrossing, and into a final motion intensity map of the place.
Wait For Signal. Push The Button. Me as a push button controlled crossing point. "When a steady green figure shows, check the traffic has stopped then cross with care."
