1. I fully support the single phase crossing outside WHS - I thought that option had the consensus here?

2. A full pedestrian phase for the whole junction like at Oxford circus is unrealistic as they are never going to implement that on the South circ. In any case ours is a T junction. Please let's not confuse matters.

3. The filter lights are thankfully not always noticed, so every now and then gift pedestrians an extended period to cross. This is not an urgent problem.

4. The pedestrian signals are clear enough. Anyone who has ever used the junction will know what causes the confusion. The lights are badly phased, and keep west bound pedestrians held on the island for an additional peculiar 1.5 phases: for both the east bound traffic phase to complete and then the east bound Dartmouth Rd traffic phase to complete.

Also like all the other badly configured crossings around here, after a while people lose patience with the things and make their own way.

5. A larger island is a nice idea but articulated lorries have trouble getting round that corner already. Where is the space coming from?

To be fair to tfl, these pedestrian barriers are not crash barriers, and if a truck had a puncture at this turning, say, then all on the island would be wiped out regardless. Any additional protection from stray vehicles is largely an illusion.

Tlf need to have an urgent rethink and redesign.
