Slanted Innovation

I learn something new every time I travel. Driving around downtown Denver, I sometimes couldn't figure out who had a green light because all lanes were stopped. Paris had to explain diagonal crosswalks to me. At a certain time in the lighting cycle, all four directions of traffic get red lights, and pedestrians are permitted to walk in any direction, including diagaonally. Very convenient if you're walking, but maybe not so much for drivers.
