Default Unique pedestrian crossing in Burnt Oak
"Paul Oter" typed


That would be the case if the traffic planners calculated the length of the
pedestrian phase on the basis of the time taken to cross two arms of the
junction. In practice, they are likely to only consider the time taken to
cross a single arm of the junction.

Too true :-(
Then they totally redesign some junctions so that the pedestian has 3 or
4 arms to wait for & cross rather than one or two.

Golders Green used to have an 'all red' phase when a fast pedestrian
could safely do a diagonal flit. It is now a nightmare.
