To cross the road, you press the button and wait. Wait until the red man changes to the green man. |
Close up of green man. Crossing makes beeping sound. |
|
See? Yes, now if all is clear, we can cross. |
|
They cross the road. |
|
There we are. Oh dear, I've left me brolly behind. |

Girl: |
I'll get it, Grandad! |
Grandad: |
No! Stop! The green man is flashing. |

Girl: |

Grandad: |
So you mustn't start to cross. |
Girl: |
Ooh! I see. |
Grandad: |
There's a good girl. Now remember, you have to wait until the red man changes to green. Then, if all is clear, cross. |
Close up of traffic light is in cloud bubble above Grandad's head. Crossing beeps on green man as before. |

Girl: |
Ah! |

There are two versions of this Public Information Film. In the first version, which can be seen on the re-released "Charley Says..." video and the DVD edition, the crossing doesn't beep; the pelican crossings didn't have this feature to begin with. The version with added beeping can be found on the first edition of the video, which has a red sleeve. There was another cartoon to accompany this one, explaining how the crossings worked from the motorists' point of view. |
