Hello!
So the situation is you have a road to cross. Eeek. Danger. On the other side of the road there is a post like structure with a black box at the top of it and on your side there is a little black box attached to a post with a silver button just underneath. You press the button and a little man lights up in red in the box on the other side of the road. Now you stand and wait not having a clue how long for until the little red man swaps to a little green man. The uncertainty of how long you have to wait is something that annoys me a little inside. Although sometimes you press it and it changes straight away - that's a good feeling.
But what about the times when you are looking at the oncoming cars and miss the red man turn into the green man and you are standing there like an idiot when you could actually cross the road. I've done this a couple of times. Secondly what about the people who feel the need to press the little silver button multiple times. It's not going to make the little red man turn into the little green man any faster is it?! No, but you still feel the need to keep pressing it don't you?! And then what about the times when you are approaching the road from a distance and it's currently on the little green man. Do you run? Do you walk quickly or do you walk extra slow so you don't risk it turning red as you are in the middle of the road? Decisions. Oh, and what about when you press the button without looking to see the amount of cars around and realise it is safe to cross anyway. Then as you reach the other side of the road, the lights change to red and all the cars have to stop and no one is on the crossing and you are just continuing on your merry way. Woops. Also, I've always wondered why some crossings beep and others don't and some flash whilst others don't. And don't you just love it when you have to cross multiple roads and you get a green man everytime! Highlight of my day.
So that was just a really random post but I feel better for it! What other crossing issues do you experience or is it just me?
Overall, they are quite handy.
Love,
