I don't agree that the junction is confusing, but that doesn't prevent it for being unfit for purpose. In particular, separating a relatively narrow road into two separate crossings, each on its own timer is ridiculous particularly given the volume of people who cross there due to the station. At peak times in the morning and evening it is not uncommmon to see 20 or 30 people trying to squeeze onto the island in the middle of the road (which can comfortably hold about 6 people). This is clearly dangerous and ridiculous and it's not the pedestrians fault.

The junction needs to be redesigned so that each of the three main crossing points are not separated into two (I believe there are currently actually 6 pedestrian crossings in total to cross 3 bits of road). So that when you get a green man you are able at each point to cross the entire width of road.

I would favour the timing they have at Oxford Circus junction where ALL pedestrian parts are red and each lane of traffic gets its turn. Then there is a 30 second period when ALL traffic is red and ALL pedestrian lights turn green (with a helpful count down timer). I think this is the solution.
