Now I like Edmonton, I lived there a few years, vibrant arts & cultural scene, good university, I have friends and family there. But on a recent trip I was rather confused by some traffic lights.

Hmmm. Can't see what's wrong with this picture? Try this one:

It's the Peek-A-Boo Traffic light? Can you see it now? Apparently in the rush for progress they forgot that people may want to see the traffic lights and signage. It's not so bad now as it's nighttime, but imagine in the day, merely an empty pole, hidden lights and turning sign. All thats missing is the police car waiting to issue you a ticket around the corner.
