Apparently getting rid of that that twelve-second period of waiting at a crossing when there’s nobody there is absolutely vital:
by Ben SpillerThe Prime Minister should make an announcement saying that there are no cameras on any pelican crossings in the country. Then, tell everyone that if the light is on red, and there is nobody on the crossing, just GO! This would save Billions of pounds to the economy, increase our standard of life and reduce carbon footprint.
What, Ben, is your problem? Is your schedule so important that being held up by a red light for a fistful of seconds is enough to throw your entire day out of whack? Here’s some advice – if you find yourself at Pelican Crossing while there’s a red light and nobody waiting to cross the road, just take a deep breath, count to ten, then… ah, fuck that. Just write another angry note to the Prime Minister. Your inability to cope with minor delays is exactly the reason he got into politics, after all.

Tom reckons:
If only there was a kind of CROSSING already on countless roads around the country, which aren’t monitored by any camera, and where you can go as long as there’s no-one there. All they would need is some kind of distinctive marking to let drivers and pedestrians know where they are… something like spots or, say, stripes. Yeah, stripes! Like a ZEBRA.
Now, what could we call them?
