Crosswalk flags on Capitol Hill, originally uploaded by christopher575.

They just get stolen. Give up already, and install a stoplight.

Lollers, the ones in Kirkland are much better!

So you use these to annoy cars?

The hell?

So if a pedestrian isn't waving a giant yellow flag, it's okay for cars to hit them. Because cars only pay attention to giant yellow flags.

americans make the worst pedestrians. they need to fear cars more.

It should read "Grab. Throw at Cars. Run"

Fremont still has theirs. Of course we are a more civilised nature than the hill :P

I've seen flags on 40th in Wallyworld as well.

or, i don't know, try LOOKING BOTH WAYS BEFORE YOU CROSS THE STREET LIKE YOUR MOMMA TAUGHT YOU

This NEVER happens in Kirkland!

The thing with stoplights is that Capitol Hill motorists are stupid assholes and will just blow through them like they do everything else.

I noticed the buckets have become trash cans. Just jaywalk.

Crossing at that intersection isn't jaywalking because it's a crosswalk whether or not there are flags present. Not that I would expect you to understand the difference.

I wonder how long until someone poops in the basket.

If it's a crosswalk already, why do you need to wave flags as you cross? So silly.

I wonder if that's what people are using the stolen flags for.
