There is a walk\/don&#8217;t walk signal near here that has been locked on &#8220;don&#8217;t walk&#8221; for a few days. It would be worse if it was locked on &#8220;walk&#8221; but still, kind of unnerving, and I&#8217;ve seen some people stand in place unaware that they are actually able to cross and that the sign is not working.<\/p>\n<p>No chance of my complaint getting through. I only try once with these things, and if I get something like an &#8220;error 80040e14&#8221; (whatever the hell that means) I don&#8217;t take it upon myself to diagnose or alert anyone who might be responsible. I am curious what the &#8220;telnet.asp&#8221;\u00a0 file is about, though.
