Why do councils spend so much on pedestrian safety at crossings, adding sight lines, lights, safety islands when Vancouver have a simple effective safety solution..

There are of course other safety options that may be more effective 😉

The link doesn't open for me, but if this is a more effective means for road crossings then contact DfT.  If I can have the link I will speak to my many contacts on road safety.  I expect they are up to speed on alternatives, but you never know.

There was a story many years ago about the match company Bryant and May losing money.  Some consultants were brought in and said the answer is simple.  Just have the sandpaper on one side.  It's a total urban myth, strike anywhere matches always had sandpaper just in one side.

    • I would like to recommend Aaron, who has just finished 5 days plastering work in my house. He is professional , polite, tidy, punctual and reliable. He did a fantastic job, a good price and a top quality finish. Highly recommended! Aaron Manser 07773 410661
    • Sadly, but not unreasonably, councils find it difficult to justify such expenditure on their current budgets. My family, which does like fireworks have been enjoying the displays by those still with disposable wealth by viewing them from Hilly Fields. Other hills (Dawson Heights) are available. For children who have autumn and winter birthdays, a firework display is some consolation for their birthday climate. My grandchildren, being summer babies, can enjoy garden parties and picnics. Without the need for explosions and dazzling display. 
    • Hey - I’ve got a spare adult ticket if you want it?
    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
