Attention walkers

So I was out walking around today admiring the beautiful fall leaves
with the palace of Versailles in the background and I almost got run
over while crossing the street.  I had waited for the the green
light...at least I thought I had.
   I am pretty sure the sign I took a picture of says something like
"Attention walkers, crossing is in 2 stages."  I figured it out when I
looked at the sign rather than the green crossing light.  I did have a
green crossing light but only for the "first" part of my crossing.
The "second part" of my crossing had a red light.  Mind you there was
no sidewalk to wait on, just lots of cars and buses going by.  I am
not sure that I have ever seen this configuration before or perhaps I
have just been lucky and not gotten run over.  Anyway, no harm done,
and the leaves were amazing; once I learned how to cross the street.`
