This is an ad by the Delhi Police in the Hindu Times... the Delhi Police is very concerned with the health of Delhi's pedestrians and therefor urges them to cross the roads of Delhi carefully. Very noble thought....

The people in the picture are climbing over a fence at the side of the road. This is something one can observe in many places of Delhi and even on the highway which connects Delhi to Gurgaon and ultimately Jaipur. It is a newly constructed highway (still not finished) with many modern features as flyovers, tollgates and signs saying tuctuc and bicycles (three wheelers) cannot use the highway. The one thing that is not there are pedestrian crossings.

But no problem. The careless pedestrians, who run for their lives when crossing the roads of Delhi, could also use subways and zebra crossings, according to the Delhi Police.
Well, subways are going to be rather difficult to find in the middle of a highway, and so are zebra crossings, as a matter of fact.

The careless pedestrians are also urged not to read newspapers when crossing the roads....should no be too hard to achieve in a country where half the population is illiterate. Besides, who has the time to read the newspaper when running for their lives? That is the one downside...the careless pedestrians are in fact running on the road (a thing they should not do, according to the Delhi Police). Anyone who has ever tried to cross a road in Delhi understands why!

But the best is yet to come.....
