I found this video on youtube:

Look to your right at 4:00-4:12 and 4:29-4:34. The latter part is a bit dark, but you can still make it out.

Some better pictures in this blog:

In the Star Wars movie "the force awakens" , the planet Takadan was named for the Tokyo ward Takadanobaba.

Definitely a Tezuka poster. Seems like they discourage Jay-walking. Was not sure if those railing were featured in anime only. Streets are obviously too narrow for curbside parking, so they can easily justify the railings/barriers. In america, there would have been hundreds crossing in the middle of the street in just a portion of that clip. Thanks, Tetsuwan Penguin!
