Let us remember today that the same scene can be seen different ways. One allows us to focus on the one issue with what we perceive to be clarity, ignoring all of the complicated background. The other way allows us to see everything that is going on behind that proud, colorful flower.
…and then we can be as happy as they were in December 1968!
A policeman in Cardiff, capital of Wales, leads children across the street in the 1930s. By 1934, road deaths exceeded 7000 per year, so the transport minister, Leslie Hore-Belisha, introduced the striped pole topped with an orange globe.
I can’t say as I’ve ever heard of or seen a Belisha beacon (aka a pelican beacon), which began marking pedestrian crossings of roads, later painted in black and white stripes, and known as zebra crossings. Yes, like the one on Abbey Road!
