Boris Johnson's Narrow Escape

I thought that was pioneered somewhere in the Netherlands - they did it to an entire town. I think that the Manchester trial was based on the success of the project in the Netherlands.

That's the kiddy! I had no idea the dutch did it first but it wouldn't surprise me, You'll probably find the place in manchester had all the signs nicked and the council workers were pissed when laying the pavement.

It works so well in built up areas, it looks a lot better and forces people to think. as they should when driving this planet-destroying-killing-machines around ;)

It's like the amazing coverage of no smoking signs, We all know the rule but EVERY venue has tons of signs.. Do we really need the three reminders to tell us it's not safe to pull out of a blind junction and ilegal to smoke indoors?
