  • Teenagers stop at a temporary road traffic light while walking along pavement
  • Young men eagerly wait for lights to turn green before continuing along route
  • Footage was captured by motorist Scott Maxwell in Shirebrook, Derbyshire


A trio of teenagers were spotted waiting for temporary road traffic lights to turn green – while walking along the pavement.  

Motorist Scott Maxwell was driving along a road in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, when he spotted the trio patiently waiting for the lights to change on July 13.

The young men, who had been walking along the pavement, stood three-abreast by the red temporary lights holding cars at a standstill.

As the lights went from amber to green the trio stirred and continued on their walk.

During the comical footage, the bemused motorist watches from his car as the teenagers stop at the four-way control sign which reads: ‘Wait here until green light shows.’ 

Mr Maxwell says: ‘Genuinely these chaps stopped when the red light went on. It does say “wait here”.’ 

As the lights switch to amber and the young men continue on their way, the amused motorist continues: ‘And they’re off. Seriously no way!’

Mr Maxwell later took to Facebook to share the comical footage, writing: ‘Lads whoever you are, this turned my day from s**t to the best drive home ever.’
