Cross At Your Own Risk: The Most Dangerous Crosswalk in the World

Being a pedestrian can be terrifying in the best of times.

Being a pedestrian can be terrifying in the best of times. You’re constantly aware that it’s just you versus everyone in a two-ton metal death machine; not to mention, the cyclists who seem determined to knock you over so they can win a prize.


But nowhere in the world is it more terrifying to be a pedestrian than Bradford, West Yorkshire, home to what has been dubbed Britain’s most dangerous crosswalk on Horton Grange Road.



A compilation of videos posted to Twitter shows countless examples of drivers speeding through the crossing with no regard for the pedestrians currently using it — from the elderly to cyclists to young children, nobody is safe. In one video, a Royal Mail van can be seen speeding through the crossing without stopping, almost hitting a mother and child. Postman Pat would never.


Fortunately for residents of Bradford, the crossing is set to receive an upgrade; it will be turned into a signaled pelican crossing. Councillor Alex Ross-Shaw said of the decision, “This zebra crossing has recently been the scene of several incidents where drivers have failed to stop for those crossing the road and new crossing with traffic lights should make it safer. We have prioritized this scheme for progression and the funding has been identified. Now that the necessary statutory process has been undertaken and a suitable contractor has been secured, work can commence.”



British TV personality Jeremy Vine previously sparked a conversation about road rules after sharing footage from the crossing in which a car collides with a cyclist. Many argued that the cyclist should have dismounted to cross the road, in accordance with the Highway Code.


But considering how dangerous the crossing is for pedestrians, it’s not clear that the cyclist would have been any safer walking their bike across the road than riding it.

'What Else Am I Supposed To Dip With My 1,500-Piece Wing Order': Wing Joint Offers 55-Gallon Tub of Bleu Cheese Dip

Have you ever sat down to enjoy some delicious, spicy wings and just felt as though something was just … missing?

Have you ever sat down to enjoy some delicious, spicy wings and just felt as though something was just … missing? Something creamy? Something delicious? Something large enough to fill a 55-gallon tub?


If so, it appears you’re in luck — enter one wing joint’s latest offering, a 55-gallon tub of bleu cheese dip. On Sunday, Redditor u/Justcorn34 headed to r/mildlyinteresting with a glimpse at what may be the most absurd culinary offerings in the continental United States, an industrial-sized portion of sauce and an even larger platter of wings.



“This restaurant has a 55-gallon drum of bleu cheese on the menu,” they captioned a photo of what appears to be a menu for Flyers Wings & Grill in Orlando, Florida.


Though the massive tub of blue cheese may set you back an eye-watering $967, per the screengrab, the price pales in comparison to its culinary companion, an order of 1,500 wings for the low low price of $1,426 … or best offer.


Though this dollar-a-wing deal is not presented on the eatery’s website, we can only hope that this menu is not only real but provided to every single diner that walks through the restaurant’s Floridian doors. After all, to paraphrase Redditor u/publicbigguns’s incredibly astute inquiry — what else are we supposed to dip with my 1,500-piece wing order?
