[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Putting aside the utter ridiculousness of this scheme and waste of taxpayer money my question is.... are these new crossings legitimate?

More and more are springing up with each passing day....literally all the colours of the rainbow.

There appears to be no mention of such folly in The Highway Code. Government road and transport documentation seem to suggest that all crossings must adhere to strict rules and regulations.......and I'm far from sure that these do.

Are motorists supposed to stop for them, or ignore them, believing  they are just 'pavement art' implemented primarily by  councils with more money than sense.

Many motorists will have no idea what they are, or their purpose, so how long will it be before a child steps off the pavement believing he is safe to cross and.....splat.

It's a pedestrian crossing painted a different colour.


Anyone who is run over on one, or a traditional one, by not checking the traffic first is no loss

So there are no rules and regulations then? I doubt that.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

If we have a crossing designed to virtue signal trans inclusion then why stop there?

How about.....

A crossing designed to virtue signal lesbian Inclusion
A crossing designed to virtue signal the inclusion of people with mental health problems
A crossing designed to virtue signal the inclusion of people who entered the country illegally
A crossing designed to virtue signal the inclusion of teenage single mothers
A crossing designed to virtue signal the inclusion of children with downs syndrome



The list is literally endless which is why we shouldn't start in the first place.

A crossing is a place for ALL people to cross safely and should not become a left wing political football.

How is it possible for a scouser to mention whining and keep a straight face.

Scousers invented whining. Whining didn't exist before scousers evolved.

My point was primarily about the legality, cost, and safety aspects.

Of course it was. It just happened to be connected to your obsession.

I have two obsessions......women and women (for clarity I refer to the cervix variant)

They have caused me no end of problems over the years. If it were not for women I'd be a rich man by now.

Can you tell us what colours each type of crossing should be please? 

Just so we know who and what we are splatting!

Just so we know who and what we are splitting! 

The only crossings I stop at are painted black and white and available for all to use. No need for anything else.

Absolutely right, and yet another example of Opti’s continual campaigning on these subjects, which has become boring and pointless. It is now just whingeing 

As for the subject in hand and the point that he is trying hard to make ;  if you look at the photo with an objective eye Opti you will see that this crossing is simply painted were normally there would just be black tarmac as it is a crossing controlled by the main traffic lights, just as normal, with, if you look properly, “Look Both Ways” wording at the beginning of the where pedestrians walk.  The camera has not completely captured it, but I am sure the same wording will be painted at the other end of this crossing. The photo though seems to have been reversed so the writing is back to front. A mirror image.

As normal legal rules and regulations apply to such crossings, the painted zone makes no difference so the crossing IS completely legal.  It is just, yet again, you trying to make something again out of nothing to aid your crusade.

Danny Beales the Camden box ticker says that the addition of a 'trans crossing' is to show inclusion to the LGBT community

I have to apologise  Lizzie, I had absolutely no idea that the LGBT community are 'prohibited and excluded' from using the same crossings as the other 99.9% of society. 

I can now see why this crossing was deemed necessary....otherwise there is no way for the LGBT community to cross the cross safely.

Right then, all sorted.....who is the next tiny minority to get their own personal crossing paid for by the taxpayer?

But children are replaceable. By about 250 every minute.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

......and Lizzie, you didn't mention the safety aspect with drivers ( especially older drivers) being unfamiliar with this woke pavement art.

It is simply 'not required'

Spend the money on more rozzers or homeless people.
