crazy intersection

Even when it is safe to cross the road there are cars who just continue driving in the intersection to beat the light.  There are three sets of lights so you better pay attention. 
Photos taken in Letterkenny last week.

  2. Hello Bill, most interesting intersection. I trust you're well. I've been off blogger these past three months and hope to be back more regularly now. Jo

  3. Looks rather nice there.
    People driving often try to beat the lights, one has to always be attentive.

  5. That does look like a risky intersection to drive through. Wonderful photos Bill.

  6. That hotel is a really weird duck in the street. But in itself it is not ugly. Wonder if it's not more of a restaurant than a hotel with all that glass.

  7. Sorry was distracted by the hotel but all the yellow paint on the street doesn't make it any better. Indeed a tricky situation.

  9. I once got rear-ended by a guy at an amber light, who said, "You could have made it," and the idiot repeated that to the cop, who was not swayed by that his logic.

  10. My two cents worth. When you are crossing the road always keep checking your surroundings. I have seen too many people hit by cars and it is not a pleasant sight to see.

  11. When I was young (up until my teen years) I walked everywhere I went. This is one of the craziest intersections I've seen!

  14. At first I thought the white shapes in the windows were beds in unrented rooms. Then I realized they were just tables in a restaurant! Yes, an intersection to be aware of!

  15. Sounds like streets here. Cross at your own risk.

  16. It looks like a very small busy intersection. Drivers have many things to look at. However, I'm sure some drivers don't bother to look at anything.

  19. It's always best to make sure to be safe when crossing any intersection because of crazy drivers.

  23. That's a confusing intersection to cross. On a side note, I would love to go to that hotel's restaurant, it offers a great view.

  24. Like someone maybe got a little carried away with the line paint. :-)

  25. Pedestrians absolutely look both ways. Learned that in Ireland.

    Life changed in our small town when a light was put at the only intersection. Rough.

  26. Same here, you have to walk defensively. In Eugene, drivers are supposed to stop for pedestrians who are waiting at crosswalks even where there is no light ...but hardly anyone does.

  27. You've got to take care when out and about.

    All the best Jan
