City driving - signs

I just love the signs here!! What about PED-XING?
Took me a while to figure out that it meant pedestrian crossing!! Fortunately no pedestrians were injured before we copped on!
And STOP ALL WAY. That means that at the next junction everyone must stop. So, what then? A little insider knowledge can be handy! Kevin explained that whoever arrives first at the junction has the right of way. Simple, right? Well, we haven't witnessed any fights yet! Can't imagine it working in Europe.
Then, kerbs are painted red where you can't park - obvious, duh! Other colours signify limited parking, such as loading. And today at the park we saw a kerb painted white, with '3min pick-up' written on it - for Mommy to pick up the kids from their play dates, I guess.
Can't think of any more at the minute. Will add here as I spot them.
