Electronic billboard

The concept that electronic billboards and others could promote accidents and which incidentally is a legacy from developed countries, where they have an excellent record for safety measures, does sound like a biased view.

I have noticed that these huge electronic billboards (I know there are bigger ones) have been placed quite appropriately at various intersections where I have to wait for my bus - sometimes for more than half an hour. It has been a relief to wait out the arrival on a hot sultry evening watching the ads. I have the common sense to stand on the designated places like footpath and other waiting platforms of which there are a plenty and these are far better managed now. And definitely when I walk down the street to the other side, shouldn't I concentrate on the traffic movement, rather than my favourite advertisement - and if I want to see the whole of it I can always wait it out.
