Why did u/MrDirkGently cross the road?

Doing what? Do they push the button for you?

Yes. And then go to the middle with you, despite the traffic being controlled by the red light

There was a school in my area where the lollipop lady retired and they were without one for months (no traffic lights either) but the school down the road had a button-pusher lollipop lady - no idea why they didn't relocated the button-pusher to where one was needed.

This always confuses me, surely the only point of Lollypop People is to help children across dangerous parts of the road where it would otherwise be unsafe.

I don't think a crossing specifically designed to allow pedestrians to cross safely falls into this category?

Every single lollipop person around where I live is stationed on a proper crossing of some type - and yet there are several much more dangerous junctions around that could really use their assistance.

It really makes no sense.

I've just had a great idea for pickpocketing unsuspecting road crossers...

Tough road? Tag team ladies?
