Whatever next - a public authority with a sense of humour - and an American one, at that!

 

Clearly some genes resist the influence of idiots and rise above it

 

In spite of appearances there are "people of humour" in 'merica

Link: New road sign to improve road safety and protect animals [GOV.UK]

Hundreds of people are injured every year in collisions involving animals in the road, according to the latest Department for Transport figures.

 

In 2017, 629 people were injured in accidents involving an animal in the road (excluding horses) and 4 people were killed.

He is calling on local authorities and animal welfare groups to identify accident and wildlife hotspots where the sign should be located.

Link: Danish city puts Vikings at crossing signals [3 News Las Vegas]

 

Vikings At Crossing Signs.jpg

 

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - It's safe to cross when the green Viking is walking, but stop when the red one is standing. That's the message to pedestrians in Aarhus as it unveils new crossing signals to celebrate the history of Denmark's second largest city.

 

City council member Buenyamin Simsek, in charge of technical matters, on Monday unveiled the first of 17 traffic signals featuring Vikings holding axes and shields, but no horned helmets — there is no evidence that Viking helmets really did have horns.

 

The lights will form a circle around downtown Aarhus, which was founded by the Vikings in the 8th century and became a bustling harbor city.
