Valley Highway - I was able to trip the light from both east and west. There is no visible indication of the actual locations of the sensors, so it takes some luck. Bellevue uses a cross symbol on the pavement and Seattle occasionally uses a 'T' symbol; something similar would be very useful. ] ****************************[16 Feb 2008 16:29:00 EST] Report edited/modified by: Rebecca Slivka [1]******************[16 Feb 2008 17:56:17 EST] Report edited/modified by: Rebecca Slivka [1]
