Corner Cop - Rome Traffic Cops may soon find themselves occupying a new perch... set four feet from the ground, but not in the centre of the road... the idea which is being tried out in the Via Del Corso is for the platform to be on the corner of one of the buildings... it is claimed that he will be more visible to Pedestrians and more so to motorists.
