Talking to a road enegineer here this morning it would seem the whole
lot that have been installed here, cycle lanes, pelican crossings with
PIR pick-ups (walk past and the lights go red, just incase you want to
cross) and a horribly complex set of road markings that no-one
understands/follows shouldn't have been allowed. BUT THE COUNCIL WON'T
BACK THE "LEAVE IT AMBIGUOUS, MAKE THEM THINK" that his company put
forward system thats proving its worth elseware....The one set of
crossing lights not on PIRs is a main set of traffic lights with
advanced stop boxes etc, the ped's however glance at the traffic and
dash, never wait for the "greenman", the number of cyclists avoiding
them at times is shocking, mind the pavement riding students don't stop
for anything less than a bus!
