Some nursery school teachers in the Upper East Region have registered some level of dissatisfaction over the missing ‘yellow signal’ on the traffic light in recent times.
Over the years, children in kindergarten and nursery schools have been taught some traffic rules and regulations by way of singing.
The popular song for our children is “If you see a traffic light there is something you must know, red means stop, yellow means get ready, green means go go go and go. Is no longer the way it was taught because the yellow signal is seriously missing in the modern traffic light available in most regions across the country.
Some of the teachers who spoke to Apexnewsgh.com described the current experience as confusing and worrying.
“This one is a problem because the yellow signal would alert you to get ready. So, as there is no yellow signal, we that are used to the yellow signal will be confused. especially when it’s time for you to get ready and you are still there, you might crash with someone”. The lamented
This incident has generated some arguments between a lovely daughter and her father when they were caught up in the traffic light. The little girl as they stopped at the traffic light, started singing when the traffic signal was on ‘red’, as brilliant she was, she was patiently waiting for the traffic light to change to a yellow signal but unfortunately, the ‘green light’ appeared and she quickly asked the father whether the traffic light is faulty because she expected the yellow signal light which in the actual sense means ‘get ready’ but unfortunately the green signal rather appeared. The father said, as at that time, he was short of words and didn’t know what response to give to his daughter but only resorted by telling her is a modern traffic light.
But, did that change the situation or even the girl mentality about the confusing trend?
Are the manufacturers of these current traffic lights telling us that the yellow signal which normally allows people to get themselves ready for the green signal is no longer relevant?
