Twice this week on my way to work I've had to stop on my way to work for the School Crossing Patrol. The lady thrusts her lollipop out into the traffic and steps bravely into the road pointing at her temporary sign that is stationed on the opposite pavement warning of dire consequences (£1,000 fine) for failing to stop. Once firmly positioned in the middle of the road she gestures to those for whom the traffic has come to a standstill that it is now safe to proceed.
On neither occasion has a single person crossed the road.
Instead the break in traffic flow is to allow a parked vehicle the opportunity to drive off.
