Another thing - there is a pedestrian crossing in Kenton
Road near the Northwick Park roundabout which regularly
goes red (to vehicles) even though there are never any
pedestrians anywhere near. Is this a malfunction or design?

I've not tried that one. Are you sure that it
doesn't make pedestrians wait so long that
they cross long before the lights stop the traffic?

I thought that the first few times, but I've been stopped by it about 100
times this year, and I don't think I have ever seen a pedestrian in this
road at all.
