@Natasha_Jay

Dear Internet-

Please cut these out, and assemble them (repeats allowed) into the instructions for a dance.

Also, please give suggestions for the name of the dance.

TIA

@jztusk
A brilliant idea tbh!!

@Natasha_Jay In case no-one's mentioned it, we've got more versions of the one shown in Vienna. All in the same style, though.

@Natasha_Jay

It's interesting to see how many of the walking people face right and fewer face left.

And it seems you need to hustle to corss in Mexico City!

@elasticsoul
That is so cool.

[ely_peddler@hachyderm.io]

@Natasha_Jay well I just learnt that some countries have different symbols in different places, not a national standard like it is here in the UK.

Also Andorra wins.

@Cassandra Not all intersections. As the alt text says, this one is in Trafalgar Square.

@th @Natasha_Jay Those shoes don’t look sensible road crossing shoes to me, but the wearer may be very proficient in them and comfortable crossing in such things.

[lorimolson@mstdn.ca]

@Natasha_Jay @PaulBusch a novel one from Trafalgar Square

[boab@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@arappathor @Natasha_Jay lol that could be any color tho

[boab@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@elasticsoul @Natasha_Jay i hope that is what is happening there!

@Natasha_Jay You can imagine which cities may be car centric by looking at how the silhouettes are depicted:
The ones that look like being in a hurry tells the pedestrians: “Cars are waiting!!! Move your asses out of the way, peasants!”
