"Beat the clock, ya gotta beat the clock.."

Some fun to be had in Plymouth:

A new type of crossing is up and running on Royal Parade.

Oh?

The signals, next to the Big Screen, were installed this week and count down to show pedestrians exactly how long they have to cross the road.

A green man still lights up when it is safe to cross, with a countdown before the red man appears to let people know they should clear the crossing.

Oh boy! That's not going to have some unforeseen consequences, is it?
