Heh. While in london someone tried to explain to me what was so
special about all these crossing types. They have names for crossings
that here in NL would "normal". A crossing with a separate light for
bikes, that's like every crossing in NL. All sorts of variations. I
don't think I've ever seen a crossing for horses, they just cross.

Then again, they also had a sticker next to the hot water tap:
"Warning: Hot water". Maybe it's related.

Have a nice day,
