Edinburgh Traffic Lights

So, I'm up in Edinburgh performing at the fringe. It's not the first time I have been up here, the last time was a few years back when I was still very good at drinking. One thing I didn't notice back then was how the traffic lights in Edinburgh work.

I was waiting to cross George Street (a fairly wide crossing to be honest) and the lights took a while to change. When the green man lit up I started to cross. After about three seconds the bleeps stopped. Argh!

I thought I was going to die. Just before I started to run I noticed that the green man was still on. The green man is on for ages but the bleeps only last for a few seconds.

Edinburgh, you certainly like to make your blind people run.
