It is nice. It’s been a welcome change from my hometown. They also have neon flags on sticks at most crosswalks. You grab one from the bucket, wave it around while crossing, and drop it in the bucket on the other side when you’re finished. I always grab a few if I notice the other side of the street doesn’t have any. Those flags would have all been stolen on day one in my hometown.
