WHAT is the point of the "Watch For The Green Man" road safety campaign when drivers let school kids cross the road when the red man is showing!
This happened last Friday at the Pelican crossing on Manchester Road near the junction with Knowsley Street.
Southbound traffic was heavy but drivers were leaving the crossing clear, as they should.
However, northbound there were no vehicles beyond the crossing but the cars in front of me did not move when the traffic lights turned green and the crossing was clear.
I dont know whether the drivers did not notice that the lights
had changed or that they deliberately did not move to let children cross the road. Either way it was a bad thing to do.
