A better place for the pedestrian push button

What about placing the pedestrian push button on the ground?

I think that would make it easier for people to use it. When someone carries heavy bags for example it's easier to step on it than lift the arms to push it. People who are very tall have to bend and people who are very short have to stretch or lift their arms. It's also more hygienic as people don't have to use their hands to press it.

Wear your panties

A teenage girl comes to school for the yearbook photo shoot wearing a skirt but wears no panties. She sits in the front row and doesn't cross her legs. The yearbook gets published and distributed to school families. The girl's Sharon Stone basic instinct is fully displayed on the photo and her parents are embarrassed. They demand the school recalls and destroys the books and reprints them. Who's to take the blame and pay for the reprint costs? The family? The photographer? The school?

They can save time when you want to cross the street on a large intersection. Surprisingly you rarely see them in big cities, except for Japan perhaps. In the UK, crossing the street on a diagonal is called jaywalking, which is also illegal in some states in the US. Why can't the government install diagonal crossings with traffic lights on each end and make it legal to cross on a diagonal? Do you think it should be illegal to cross on a diagonal?
