    Foresight you see - I might change my mind a hundred yards down the road and decide I do want to cross it after all, and if the cars are all stopped that allows a nice gap in the traffic.

    (and the thought of all those irate drivers stopped at an empty crossing is just the icing on the cake )
    We have "Pegasus" crossings where I live.

      London is no place to bring up a family, the only types that think it is are liberal latte lappers.
