The Anonymous Widower

An Unusual Way To Promote Road Safety

I like this story from the BBC. Here’s the first bit.

“Sexy” lollipop men and women are being used in a road safety campaign aimed at pedestrians who have been drinking.

The move is targeting young adults who are more likely to wander across roads while drunk.

A video, filmed in Oxford, appeared to show more pedestrians used a zebra crossing when accompanied by the scantily-dressed models.

I hope it works.

I remember in the 1960s, seeing a safety poster of two railway trucks with a space between them. The heading said.

Trespassers will be executed.

Sadly, in some parts of the world, this is the law.
