doesnt nyc have those itnernationally recognisable signs with the hand icons and stuff now as opposed to the "english only" walk and dont walk signs?

cshrem: 31st Mar 2005 - 02:29 GMT

yes they do, I live in NYC. I took one of the old "dont walk" signs when the man was taking them down, and i'm curious to know how much its worth

Peter: 31st Mar 2005 - 15:15 GMT

probably not much, as there are zillions of em, and its only a disused sign after all...

but yeah nyc did switch over to the hand/silhouette format over the past coupla years.

i'd love to get hold of a working sign too... i could probably stretch to a c-note

email me (my username above) @mac.com

evoluzione: 28th Jan 2006 - 00:45 GMT

failing that, i need a quality photo of the sign, with the "DONT WALK" part lit up, can anyone help with that?

This fabulous beast was parked outside the building site on the corner of 34th ave and Steinway. Under the extremely watchful gaze of the driver, I took some pictures. Mad dogs and English women... (yeah, that's me in the wing mirror. Not...
