I'll be honest, the only place I've seen the old "WALK, DONT WALK" signs, at least in the state where I live, was in a an extremely low income suburb, of a suburb, where the cops will ticket you for having an ornament on your rear view mirror, claiming it to be an obstruction, even if it's clearly not big enough to obstruct anything, just to generate extra income for the city. Other than that, everywhere uses the symbol lights, as they have for decades.

Maybe now they are finally getting around to changing them but I've seen the "Don't Walk" and "Walk" in New York. Same as the "EXIT" signs where in most parts of the world they have the green and white coloured sign with the guy running out the door. We have have them in Canada but I saw them in Europe and Japan long before they made it to Canada. Rarely do I see them in the USA today, the running man that is.
@@FirstLastOne I never see the Dont Walk and Walk sign. I see the hand and stick figure sign. Maybe it’s way more common on the east, cause we don’t have that shit here in LA
"NOBODY MOVE!!!! LET US GO!!" XD
they call a liquid gas
To be fair you don’t actually use the fluid to run the gar you use the vapours
Gas as an abbreviation of "gasoline"
@@KingofFray Gasoline is still incorrect, it’s petrol
The “Walk” and “Don’t Walk” signs are hardly used anymore.
@@hybro8 : If "gasoline" is incorrect, how come when I search for "petrol" on Wikipedia it takes me to the page for gasoline?

Americans can't get over the fact that they speak English and want to hold on to subtly dearly.
Back in the ancient Before Times, instead of "DON'T WALK" and "WALK", some of the old neon pedestrian signals said "WAIT" and "WALK" here in 'murrica.
The “Walk-Don’t Walk” sign has fallen out of favor in the US.
It was out of favor when this clip aired.
@@staalman1226 I actually saw those things go out of favor near the end of the 90s.

New York for example
I thought Fender was the maker of guitars to rock stars like Slash from Guns n Roses and others.
Slash played a Gibson
It's supposed to "fend" off a collision. It doesn't do a very good job of it. As a 'murrican, I prefer calling it a "bumper".
The german ONLY exist in east germany.
And they become really rare
Incorrect. They have been installed all over west Berlin due to their popularity.
@@alanbugler4404 exactly what i said. germany not "der westen"
