Londondrz... Doesn't it just. Is it just me or is the gap stupidly small?
I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this yet (unless I missed it)

Agreed stepover.

Not sure if you recall, but many moons ago the crossing phase outside WH Smiths was indeed one single crossing phase. Worked much better, but required ALL traffic to stop. I assume this was changed to a phased crossing to allow traffic movement.

Personally I say the sacrifice of stopping all traffic is worth it in this limited space environment.
Its the only direction that needs a single crossing phase.

Could even have a turn right only phase during this time, allowing traffic which has to wait an eternity to turn right (onto Dartmouth) normally.

Aaah the good old days ....
