”The latest road rules put pedestrians at the top of the tree”

That was the intention for sure, Dave, but it doesn’t seem to work very well - I don’t recall the last time a road-user gave way for me, a pedestrian, to cross at a road junction. I’d venture to suggest that examples of road-users following the new rules regarding pedestrians are, as me owd mother used to say, “as rare as rocking-hoss shit”! ;-)
