Dignity - Where Did It Go?

Submitted by guestblog on 16 May, 2008 - 11:04.

I heard the horn blast and wondered what was going on. I looked down the road,saw an elderly lady struggling to negotiate a pedestrian crossing. The lights had just gone red and someone was blasting his horn. The lady puffed and panted as she tried to speed up.

. Made me think how  hard it is to get across these pedestrian crossings,you have to walk quickly to make it in the short time allowed.

 Also really undignified. Why is it that the Roads and Traffic Authority can't allow seniors and the disabled the time to get across these crossings at a comfortable pace?

Actually this violates the UN Declaration on Human Rights Article 1. " All human beings are born freeand equal in dignity and rights. "

Strange that the government we elect to protect our rights, breaks them don't  you think?
