Saint PetersburgMapSeptember 23...25, 2014 It’s absolutely wonderful that they’re continuing to restore old building signs in Saint Petersburg. All the buildings were marked once, and this was pleasant and beautiful.  RUSSIAN FOR FOREIGN TRADE BANK They’ve also installed the first traffic light in the city (or perhaps the world) for people glued to their phones.  And activists have started using traffic signs as a platform for self-expression.  Watch out for trans fats! Concrete bike racks have appeared.  Overall, Saint Petersburg is surprisingly nice.  Road surface markings are being put down on Moskovskoe Shosse.  And they’ve also started building concrete lane dividers with real pedestrian safety islands, as opposed to ones that are simply painted on the road.  The Leningrad region is a fairytale wonderland.  |
