i don't think that is unfortunate. it's one case where common sense still holds out
I strongly welcome the fact that crossing roads or streets on foot is generally permitted in this country. It's definitely a bastion of common sense.
Which is all fine and dandy except the majority of pedestrians in London don't use common sense. Why bother having dedicated crossings if nobody uses them?
Might as well have a free-for-all or just pedestrianise the whole town. It seems the more freedom people get the more they abuse other people's freedom.
As humans are getting worse and worse at performing very basic tasks, such as merely walking along a pavement in a straight line or crossing a road courteously and safely, it makes sense to introduce some form of governance. Where's the Green Cross Code Man when you need him?
