Liverpool introduces fast walking lanes

Britain’s first ever fast pedestrian lane has opened in Liverpool city centre - following research that claims 47% of the nation finds slow walking the most annoying aspect of high-street shopping. 

Opening on the city's St John Street, the fast lanes will allow users to speed through the crowds while perusing the three-storey Liverpool One shopping centre. 

The research, conducted by Argos, also revealed shoppers hated battling through crowds, people chatting in the middle of the street and pavement hoggers.

What about one for those motorised scooters that think they can speed up the back of your arse, sounding their horn thinking they have some kind of priority on the pavement.

 

 

Can't wait to get one myself mind you

This is a great idea.

Not sure it should be tried in Liverpool though, thieves are going to love it.

Fast lane recently introduced for the locals who have just acquired new goods unpaid for wanting to make a hasty retreat ,should prove very popular in Scouse land

They should have lanes for pedestrians permanently.

Is it only in Derby that people will suddenly and violently change direction into your path as you walk down the street? You walk in a straight line, see them coming 50 yards away, they see you, you take the left hand side of the pavement and then, at the last moment as you are about to pass them they try and walk the other side of you and end up smashing 3 bags of Asda shopping into your thigh.

I swear getting down Babington Lane is impossible without some tw*t walking into you.

Never encountered it in any other city.
