National Limerick Day the ITS way
Members have stepped up to our challenge of producing ITS-related limericks for 12 May, and we hope you will enjoy the three best ones:
Winner – receives a £100 donation to a charity of his choice: Nick Reed of Reed Mobility, with an upbeat message about the capabilities of ITS.
Tackling road risk, congestion or stress?
Wanting to manage transport networks for less?
Or seeking mobility data?
Your success will be greater
If you harness the power of ITS!
Three more limericks the judges found worthy of publication:
Ian Cornwell of Mott MacDonald, almost certainly the only person to have ever rhymed DATEX with anything:
Standards like Siri and DATEX
Can help you avoid project train wrecks
A developer ponders
Compliant transponders
And it all helps contribute to pay-cheques
Paul Firmin of the Leeds College of Building with a lament for the transport planning profession:
There once was a Planner called Paul,
Who thought he could plan Transport and all,
But high flows of Cars on the road,
Just led people to goad,
That he hadn’t planned Transport at all
And finally, Tim Strong of Arcadis offers some sound career advice:
A pal of mine asked me one day,
Where do the best minds go to play?
I thought for a second,
Then said to my good friend,
“You should join ITS(UK)
Thank you to all who took part and probably, carry on paying quite a lot of attention to your day jobs ….
