*thinks of traffic light pun*
It’s not a traffic light. It’s clearly a traffic heavy.
Is it my imagination or is that little guy in the signal wearing a full body cast?
wouldn be surprize if they had broken limbs
Finally, a crosswalk for drunks.
awesome
The depressing scenery is getting to it.
Judging by the sign post, it is safer to stand in the street as traffic often uses the sidewalk.
This is that one poor sign-post that everyone hits while drifting around that corner in any given Need For Speed game.
Which is exactally why the pole is constructed of a foam water-noodle.
“Just a bit of tape here, and a bit of tape there.” “Ehh… Dude, you do realise we’re not fixing Lady Gaga’s ass?”. “Damn”.
Let’s hear it for the duct tape. YAAAAAAAAAAAY!
YAY! GO DUCT TAPE!
I guess this is what happens when you try to employ the wacky arm flailing inflatable tube man for things other than to draw attention to your used car lot…
epic man, purely epic, not sure why but i just ROFLMAO’d, can’t think of anything that would say i laughed harder than that, but i did, i literaly had to get off my seat and clutch my sides
This may, in fact be an artistic installation. “Though the path you walk seems virtuous and true, the signals you receive are crooked.”
This adds just the right touch of ambiance to the restaurant’s attractive patio dining area.
“Could we have a poleside table for two, please?”
“Do you have reservations?”
“Yes, but we’ll take our chances anyway.”
She didn’t want to believe it at first, sure the tips had fallen off but she blamed it on the economy. But now Liz realized her pole dancing days were over.
For larger finger sprains, doctors recommend splints with electronic devices that will tell people when, and when not, to walk into you.
This looks strangely like one of those things called “art” to me…
Pope John Paul II saw this crosswalk sign during his visit to St. Louis, Missouri in 1999. He immediately had the sign moved to the corner of Piazza del Duomo and Via Santa Maria in Pisa, Italy where it remains to this day. This picture needs a follow- up shot of the pedestrians on the other side of the street all subconsciously tilting their heads to the left while they wait for the light to change.
Don’t Walk: Lean.
“hit this button and get hit!”
Post don’t grow straight anymore!
What the heck happened to that pole? It’s bent in three places!
But only taped in two.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the street, a man is standing there, slightly askew…
Did he forget to have a V8??
Someone tell the little red man it’s really not a good idea to follow your three pints of beer with half a bottle of whiskey.
If you don’t like the way I drive, stay off the sidewalk.
The fledgling cross walk signal must be tied to a strong support pole until it grows strong enough to stand straight on it’s own. Make sure to use a healthy, organic fertalizer and water two to three times a day.
- otherwise THIS happens and you are doomed to strain your neck for the rest of time.
“Thats it yellow man, you’re going on a diet!”
This was taken near where I work (Paris, France). You can notice the fixer took some attention to enforce and protect the pole with some sort of plastic bags under the duct tape (how clever). You can also find the place in streeview and notice that at the time there was a temporary pole which was probably placed there by the same fixer :

OMG ! I live in the boulevard where this photo was taken ,just after the djoon restaurant
thx you raphaelc for this epic fix from Paris !
If you move once to the right, you’ll see that this view was taken at a different time. The skinny pole on the concrete blocks is gone. It looks like this is the same pole pictured here on thereifixedit, except when it was new. Not a scratch on it. In fact the Walk/Don’t Walk indicator hasn’t even been mounted yet.
The two lights are “Cross Street” and “Cross Yourself”
I wouldnt worry as long as the sign shows the red standing guy. It will be save to cross the road. On the other hand the other sign doesnt show “walk” it shows “RUN!!!” And it it shows up you better run!
Some letters have fallen off that sign in the window. It used to say “Barber.” And that is a barber pole we’re looking at–see the stripes? The illumunated figure indicates one person waiting.
It took me a while to realize that what I was seeing as additional support from the woodwork in the back to just under the “don’t walk” sign was actually artwork from the window in the back.
Interesting optical illusion of movement of the pole when you scroll up and down quickly — perhaps due to the angles in the building behind the pole? Well, at least I’m easily amused.
Wow, that pole is definately a car magnet.
Can anyone say “Hulk Smash!”
Am I the only one to notice that this picture was shot in Paris?
The only one so far today.
ya’ll are looking at this wrong. It’s actually the entire world that’s tilted, not the pole!
It is art, but it’s pole-itical commentary about the crooked traffic safety lobby.
Kin-Dza-Dza traffic light shows: don’t walk, please wait for all the pepelatzes to pass first.
something tells me that isn’t a very safe corner….
