Best. Crossing. Ever! – Santiago, Chile

I’ve seen a lot of pedestrian crossings over the years. From the Walk, Don’t Walk of the United States, the Belisha beacons of the UK and the Ampelmännchen of former Eastern Germany.

But only one has ever made me LOL, as they say.

Plaza de Armas

I don’t know if this type of crossing occurs elsewhere in Chile. I only saw it in Santiago’s main square, the Plaza de Armas.

Wait for it…

Go really fast. Now!

Unfortunately, still images really don’t do it justice. So make sure to check out the video below. (The real fun starts with about 9 seconds to go.)

This post was inspired by this week’s photo challenges of Automatic from Jennifer’s One Word Photo Challenge, Now from Jen H. of The Daily Post, Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge and Jo’s Monday Walk.
