Our little town has one traffic island - and we are about to get two more! I don't think that the stop/go man would have been very popular today with all the traffic build up! It was around the end of the school day and it seemed every car in town was wanting to get through.
Aah, that would've been quite frustrating! A lovely shot, and it seems you made use of the traffic jam for this shot! Lovely shot, really captures whats going on! :)
