Elf and Safety gone mad.

Here are 3 images taken at the National Express coach station in Birmingham. When passengers are getting off their coach, they are greeted by this sign...

"High visibility clothing must be worn in this area".

This is the waiting area for passengers in the flagship coach station. Where is the danger? Passengers can not walk infront of or behind coaches. There are no conflicting paths. There is a place for high visibility clothing to be worn, in places where people are vulnerable in the path of moving vehicles. But here there are no moving coaches within the boarding and waiting areas.

One guy is sat in the waiting area wearing his high visibility vest and this just looks silly.

There is no chance of an accident in this very controlled area. The passenger entrance doors from the waiting area into the boarding area can only be opened by a controller when no coaches are moving. This sign therefore just gives an example of Health & Safety gone mad.
