#ThrowbackThursday | Recognise anyone in this gallery of classic Longford black and white photographs
Caption: Survey by Longford students finds that pedestrian crossing is unsafe: A traffic island in Longford town with no visible beacons on which three second years students from St Mel's College stand....A zebra crossing with no markings on which an old lady crosses....And a totally blind corner on an exceptionally busy road. The three students are John O'Rourke, Dara McShane and Cathal Kyle. A survey carried out in February 1993, during which they spoke to 100 adults that used the pedestrian crossing at St Mel’s Cathedral, found that 91% of people felt it was unsafe.
