Default Unique pedestrian crossing in Burnt Oak


"Paul Oter" wrote in message


The big mystery is why so few crossings in London are marked like that.
Space is such a constraint that most of London's signalled crossings use
the Barnes Dance sequence UIVMM.


I suspect the main constraint is that a diagonal crossing, being a greater
distance, requires vehicle traffic to be stopped for longer than with an
ordinary orthogonal crossing. So it's pedestrian convenience vs motorist
convenience.


More likely it costs a fiver more in paint
