| Don't we all know about cost cutting? I did mention it and it isn't the only reason for the job reductions in my post. Did you actually look at the car speeding across the crossing with the Lollipop lady and children on it scattering them? Or doesn't that fit with your narrative, Simon? The triangular signage I was actually referring to seeing elsewhere in Ealing was not at the top of a pole like most road signs but was a temporary yellow plastic 3-sided one right around the bottom half of that new restrictions sign pole drawing attention to it and to them - like a yellow plastic 3-sided Toblerone. Thls makes the change more noticeable to all and much more of a talking point. Admittedly it isn't a permanent sign - but how long should warnings of new signage stay for? The costs have also to be taken into account. There is a problem anyway of motorists driving across junctions and turning too fast into roads when and where there are pedestrians of all ages crossing. They need to read the latest Highway Code. If and when there are any casualties the Highway Code rules will be taken into account. That doesn't mean that pedestrians should be reckless either as they are the most vulnerable road users. How well are children taught the Green Cross Code or any rquivalent nowadays. |
