Why do some Philadelphia crosswalks own little men painted surrounded by them?
I was not long in Philadelphia and notice that some of the crosswalks had what appeared to be little men painted on them. What do these signify?

the little man walking is the international ocular picture of pedestrian crosswalk
oh my gosh! I was wondering like peas in a pod thing when I saw those too! I be wondering if they represented places where culture had be hurt from an accident, but that didn't appear to a be a very honourable reason for them to be here. So I'm not really sure. I guess it's just relating you that this is where you are supposed to way of walking, even though there are already the lines painted on the street for that.
Its probably some sort of logic symbol which is supposed to communicate to people that this is where on earth they should cross the street.
I'm wondering if the painting represents the entity before or after the hit and run.
I think to pass you the hint to: wander here..
East coast city drivers within general do not hold the same features respect for crosswalks that they have on the west coast or even within the mid-west. Those little people painted here respresent pedestrians who have be run over and smushed because they made the mistake of expecting cars to stop when they set out to cross the street. They serve as a reminder to other unwary walkers to perform like Jack - explicitly, be nimble and be express!
Actually, they are really just an indication that you are supposed to cross within the cross walk. There own been profusely of pedestrians killed trying to jay put your foot across the Roosevelt Boulevard so the city is trying to raise awareness of pedestrian sanctuary.
I looked for the cite but after a couple of seconds of penetrating (after which I got bored), I could not find the USAToday article going on for it, but every year, two Roosevelt Boulevard intersections (Grant Avenue and Red Lion Road) are identified there as person among the top ten most dangerous intersections surrounded by the country.
