"The image shows the view of an intersection on the road as seen from inside a vehicle. There is a building on the left with a light pole and some trees at a distance. Outside the building there are two pedestrian signals enclosed by blue boxes. There is one pedestrian walking on the sidewalk with a red rectangular box around him. There are two oncoming vehicles stopped at the intersection. There are two pedestrians crossing the intersection from left to right and each pedestrian is enclosed in a red box. There is one building on the right side of the image and a signal pole with a sign depicting the name of the street. On the right, outside the building, are two pedestrian signals enclosed in blue boxes. Outside the building on the walkway there is a bus shelter. A number of trees are seen along the road outside the building. At the bottom of the image there is a steering wheel on the left side and the vehicle dash board on the right side showing a compartment. At the top of the image, the viewer can see the vehicle’s rear-view mirror."
