Default To Crop or not to crop this rainbow (actually ice spot) photo?

Hey there. I was wondering if I should crop the stop lights and red light cameras out of this photo or leave it as is?
I kind of thought it added depth, but I thought I would ask about it here. Does it work for the picture to add depth or does it make it look tacky?
Thanks in advance!
(If this is the wrong place for a rainbow photo to be critiqued then just let me know, thanks)

I would say that the lines and signs are distracting. The photo overall also seems a little dark to me.

One the good side of this it is really an amazing shot, the colors are beautiful. You just needed a different perspective.

Alright. I will keep that in mind. I probably should have pulled over and gotten a different perspective. But oh well, haha.
