Better Safe Than Sorry!

is what the staff at the University of West England's Frenchay campus in Filton, Bristol, said,

after paying for what is probably the safest Zebra crossing in the UK, its cost was defended, it is a crossing yards from a brick wall and where a dead-end road stops, the crossing was introduced to join two footpaths, the road markings are too close to the brickwork for any traffic to get near it without reversing, but as UWE spokeswoman Jane Kelly stated, 'it does look a bit silly but there is a small car park round the corner and cars sometimes reverse to get out, despite there being a brick wall at the end of the road, the crossing is there just to be safe rather than sorry', well I guess if you want it to be 100% safe traffic lights should be installed as well!
