Well, each action has its own reason. Clearly new British systems and laws have been emerging as these are required for British people. On the undergrounds, people are kept reminding by tube workers "Mind the gap" "Mind the gap" in addition to showing such signs on the pavements. Something these made me annoyed with the thought that what kind of idiots need such repeated reminders. Similarly, on the pedestrian crossing, you can see "Look Right" "Look Left". What does that mean? Obviously, a considerable number of travellers are unable to look after themselves or lazy to check both sides, ending up in unnecessarily injuries and even deaths. As a result, those signs have to be printed.
A couple of months previously, I saw a 76 year old man who came in with the broken bones and bruises to the hospital after a fall. It happened while walking in the dim light after he went out with his wife at 10:30 PM. (in my old country , people with such age have been around with supportive children and grand children all the time). While his stay in hospital, unfortunately he contracted chest infection. Later, antibiotic induced diarrhoea happened and died after 4 weeks duration of suffering. Of course, there is a debatable wide issue about hospital acquired infection. But if that man with such age did not go out in the late evening, he would not have suffered such consequences.
It is very difficult to restrict the freedom of people in the democratic countries. But I suspect new law or system needs to be imposed to prevent similar events, such as "Old people no going out after what time without what precaution" . A few months ago, the government has already tried to introduce a curfew for some age group of youngsters in some parts of a city not to go out in the evening after a serial events of knife crimes and killings.
