Padded lampposts are
being trialled in a London street to protect inattentive pedestrians.
A pilot scheme has been launched in Brick Lane after it was found to
have the highest number of 'walking and texting' injuries in the
country.
A study carried out by 118 118 found one in ten people has hurt
themselves while focused on their mobile phone screen.
The charity Living Streets is so concerned that it has teamed up with
the directory enquiries service to test a scheme to wrap up the
nation's lampposts.
A poll will be carried out on Brick Lane to gauge the response of
locals.
If successful, the concept will be rolled out in Birmingham,
Manchester, and Liverpool.

Maybe I was brought badly but I was taught that if you were too stupid to look ahead while you were walking and walked into something, that it was a sign that I needed to learn to look up.
ReplyDeleteNot padding, those posts need sharpened corners. Some people just have to learn the hard way.
ReplyDeleteThey're taking all the fun out of life. One of the small pleasures in life is watching idiots walk into things.
