Tasks / No Jaywalking
Follow the traffic signals!
Choose a neighborhood with plenty of traffic signals. Walk a path according to their desires, determined using the following rules:
- If there is one walk signal, cross the street in that direction and continue walking straight ahead until the next corner.
- If there is no walk signal, turn the corner without crossing the street, and keep walking straight ahead until the next corner.
- If there is more than one walk signal, retrace your steps to previous corners until the signals take you in a new, clear direction.
- If there are no traffic signals, cross in the direction that you are already facing and keep walking.
Continue on in this way until you either hit a dead end (i.e. you are supposed to walk straight, but there is no more road) or you find yourself back at a corner that you have already visited.

It was a beautiful day for a randomly-directed, meandering walk through San Francisco. I expected to roam around downtown for a couple of hours before hitting a dead end or crossing my own path. But randomness has a way of defying your expectations. ...
LA is secretly a Beatles fan, and Westwood has some very strange quirks which I discovered by doing this task. I had not planned to do this, particularly so soon after Loki's excellent completion, but I was walking down through southern UCLA/Westwood...
Happy Taskgiving extravaganza! I decided to combine this task with Something Very Good on Thanksgiving. I started out waiting on my chosen corner. After either something fantastic happened or half an hour had passed, I followed the walk signal as ...
I live in Uptown Minneapolis, as I'm sure most of you know by now, and we have no shortage of traffic lights. Or so I thought. Turns out, if you get turned a certain way by Fate, you'll find yourself on a long road of stop sign only intersections, wo...
I like this - it's like a city-guided derive.
