A popular pelican crossing

With a pelican crossing at your front door, everyone who crosses the road at this busy spot will see your shop (and what you have to sell), plus each day thousands of cars that stop outside when the lights are on red, will notice you too. (What form of advertising generates this kind of exposure.... Thousands of hits per day or views etc....? The cost of getting so much exposure would be phenomenal! All this comes included in the rent).

With two bus stops at the front, one on each side of the road, the amount of exposure you get keeps on getting better!
