Description: A rather sinister device of a clown carrying balloons is used to introduce children to good road safety practices. The appearance of both the clown and an ice cream van as well as the proximity of a newsagents are used to provide several reasons for children to need to cross a road. Both good and bad road crossing practice are in evidence, with careless crossings symbolically characterised with the popping of one of the clown's balloons.
