Default Banned left turn in Kingsbury, London

"SimonJ" typed


(To see left-turning traffic at this point, a walker
would almost need eyes at the back of his head.)


Or he could turn and look behind himself.



Except that the houses get in the way.

I was at that junction today, on foot. There are pedestrian lights
across Kingsbury Road on the east side of the junction. On the west,
there are no pedestrian lights and I couldn't see any of the traffic
lights as they are shielded. It was fairly difficult to cross safely,
and would have been worse if there'd been unexpected turning traffic.
