Anyone recommend any interesting ones?

Here is the webcam at Abbey Road, I noticed that the Taxi and Bus drivers don't even brake at this crossing!

Couple of years ago my dad had to deliver a yacht from Gibraltar to Mexico
We were able to watch him live on Christmas day transversing the locks entering the Panama canel was pretty cool
have also used several around the world on new years :y

The "Zig Zag" lines are to signify an area either side of the crossing where some extra rules apply :y :y

Bunch of halfwits standing in the middle of the road taking photos though ::) ::)

As LD says, for example rule 191:

You MUST NOT park on a crossing or in the area covered by the zig-zag lines

we have "no parking" signs also some other stuff and the fines and extras (they took your car and you have to find it ;D)  are nightmare but still they do it..

and sometimes they fight with the police  :o but honestly I only threat the police when they took my car off >:( ;D
