Curious as our pedestrian crossings don't have arrows at all:
Where is it supposed to point and how does it work?
In the US where I live (Washington state) the arrow points in the direction you want to walk. The posts usually have two buttons on them, one for each crossing direction.
Maybe this one is for the highway to hell?
A portal to hell recently opened, with a half mile of protected bike lane to boot:

This is a fantastic read that seems to come straight out of a Dirk Gently novel... But I am completely confused and have the feeling that I am missing some crucial information?
This is a satirical newspaper :)
Not real news, just jokes!
Nicely written, though! I like it! :-)
