We all know what a zebra crossing is. It’s somewhere clearly marked (in black and white stripes on the road) as somewhere that pedestrians can cross a road in safety and where they have priority over vehicles.
The latest lunatic council to ignore this principle is the London borough of Camden who have painted a crossing in white, blue and pink at the junction of Tavistock Place and Marchmont Street (the transgender flag colours).
Other councils have similarly decided to undermine road safety by painting some crossings in non-standard colours to promote their favourite political or gender preference. But thankfully a Christian campaign group may be challenging this with a judicial review. See this note on Local Government Lawyer for the legal basis of the challenge: https://localgovernmentlawyer.co.uk/transport-and-highways/443-transport-and-highways-news/61503-london-borough-facing-judicial-review-threat-over-road-crossing-painted-in-colours-of-transgender-pride-flag .
Let us hope that this challenge is pursued. We have too much time and resources wasted on sexual politics already.
