Dear All.

This old chestnut has cropped up again.

East Sussex CC have recently converted a pelican crossing to a puffin. So
"what's new" I hear you say. This time its outside a secondary school with
1200 pupils.

The headmaster is none to pleased because at 3 o'clock hundreds of kids
attempt to use the crossing and they cannot see the nearside indicator. We
have installed a second unit above the original, but he's still not happy.
Whilst I tend to agree with his point of view I am not sure what else we can
do. Any ideas would be welcome.

My question is:

Has anybody had a similar experience, particularly outside a school. If so,
what else can we do the help? 
Has anybody used far side indicators on a puffin and do you require GOSE
authorisation?

Your comments would be very much appreciated.
