Hi all,

I have often seen footage of foreign crossroads with 2 diagonal pedestrian
crossings in addition to the 4 orthogonal crossings we usually have here in
Britain. Today I found a crossroads with all six crossings just east of
Burnt Oak tube station in Northwest London. According to the nearest person
I could accost, it's been like that for about 2 or 3 years. Is this the only
one in Britain? It seems to have been there too long to be a trial.

There is a newish one in the Gorse Hill area of Swindon. The beepers,
etc., stop when pedestrians are still in the middle of the road, which
is a bit disconcerting at first. There is, though, a long pause
before traffic is signalled off again.
