billroperNo, not gold, at least in Rolling Meadows. But we saw this on the way home the last two nights, so it came to mind.
There's a big new Meijer's store in Rolling Meadows and they've reconfigured the intersection of Golf and Algonquin to have two left turns lanes in each direction on Algonquin. When the left-turn signal is active for Algonquin, a curve of light springs to life in the roadbed, showing where each lane should be turning, then vanishes when the turn signal goes to red.
This is very impressive, but I worry about what's going to happen when the snowplows show up this winter, even though the lights appear to be recessed. We'll see.
