Can people post examples of how they dress their streets? I'm looking for inspiration for a beginner for things like traffic lights, and general street furniture. Ideally to go alongside a modular street but unlimately I'm looking for ideas so scale isn't as important as imagination.

Thanks :)

Well, for instance, I got a newspaper vending machine:

And a (defaced) election poster, a bench and filled trashcan - and adding some scenes like a police action is good to liven things up:

I've desgned custom bits for my city's strees, such as this bus stop:

And this streetlamp:

Here's my traffic light design; Technic parts and snot bricks were the main ingredients

I'll be watching this thread too as I am also looking for inspirations like the OP

Very nice!

Need a phone box.....

Or petrol pumps......

I might coming up with even more Lego City-ish street stuff shortly.

LT, that phone booth is excellent. I need to add some street furniture also.

All I have are a couple benches and newsstand.

OT!: -> Tiger, we don't have red phonebooths here in DK - that's the UK

And TDC is dismantling the rest, everybody have cell/mobilephones here now. Buy less Lego and save up for a ticket to Denmark

I use what comes in the sets: light posts in the Modulars. Street and signal lights from City. There's great ideas here for other bits, however. The newsstand, the different sidewalk techniques.

I really like your bus shelter! I also have them in my town, but i have no bus. They serve more as a gazebo.

Brick On!

I remember in my early Lego days I would build custom phone booths. Now they cease to exist around me in real life, but part of me want my Lego people to live in a simpler time.

I only am using the Catwoman's Cycle street light (modified of course) and the newspaper dispenser. Real original, I know.

I love seeing these other ideas. Great work everyone!

I use these too. May I ask what modifications you made to it?

wow... ThE bank is really AWESOME, @cimddwc

Sorry, 1974, that's not true. TDC actually wanted the phonebooths to be red, and in some places they actually were, as can be seen from this link http://www.fotojesper.dk/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=765. But they were also dark blue and green, depending on the colour of the street furniture in the town/city.

Here are some pics of a radar trap I've made a while back:

And a modified traffic light, which is based on the regular ones from TLC:

With a traffic sign add-on:

A simple charging station for EVs:

A little area for recreation and a different street light:

thanks. Love the traffic light with pedestrian crossing button.

Nice designs Farnheim. Can we happen to see more pictures of your town.

Agreed. He should create a separate topic for his town.
