- Better Be Vigilant 11 I PICTURE OF A MAN Wf<O NEVER I ’had time’to WAIT FOR GREEN light -BUT NOW, WAS P-LtENTY OF TIME--XrW i ih Here is au example of what too many pedestrians do. The person illustrated above never had time to wait for the green light, but now, as all will admit, he has P-L-E-N-T-Y of time. No doubt any person who has had such an experience will decide it’s better to wait a few seconds than to spend weeks and even months getting over injuries suffered because of impatience. Last year there were more than a thousand pedestrians killed when theycrossed at intersections against the signal, and there were more than 35,000 who were injured, according to the Travelers Insurance Company. Many of those killed, if they had a chance to do it over again, would be more than willing to wait for the light to turn in their favor, i Verv likely those injured feel the eame way. It may be a little irksome to wait for the signal to flash Go,” but one remains dead a long time, and it’s far from being funny to be kept in bed recovering from injuries.
