Would it be possible to purchase a puffin crossing panel? (lemmy.world)

I thought it would be pretty cool and funny to set this as a power on/off button for a computer but I don't know if normal people are allowed to buy it.

I hate puffin crossings.

Is it because you instinctively look to the other side of the road to see if it's time to go? That drives me nuts sometimes.

Yep! That's my direction of travel so that's where I want to be looking. I'm still going to look side to side to make sure the traffic has stopped. What ends up happening, especially when it's busy, is that the person who pressed the button stays standing next to it so you can't see when it's clear.

I know one which had two panels, one elevated.
