Great example Londondrz, seems a mentality many are willing to take all too frequently.

RSH, I have the displeasure of driving over that brickwork on a regular basis, and agree, its hideous.

The fact is a simple one, while we all throw ideas out there, there are NO changes that can be made which make crossing that road 100% safe, hence I was asking about the accident data for the road. Awkward and time consuming doesn't mean 'dangerous'. Stripy roads, flashing lights, and bricks don't make it 'safe'.

It takes a combination of a lot of things to make things right there. Yes some drivers pay too little attention on that stretch of road, and go too fast, however, the commuters and other pedestrians also have a choice of where they cross, and when.

Its all very well saying the station exit is on a blind corner, so don't cross there! Don't expect the road to change, because walking 30 ft up the road is inconvenient. Yes it takes a bit longer, but it also saves your life.
I know the argument is of course the elderly and mums with buggies and prams, when trying to find an angle to prove a point, they are always great examples to use, but the majority of users of the road are able bodied, impatient commuters. And thats who a change would in fact be being made for.

Going to see if anywhere can come up with the accident data for that stretch of road, and see what is really necessary there in reality.

My final point, whatever you put in place will not change the mindset of the people who are too arrogant to believe a car can hurt them, or in too much of a rush to care. In fact sometimes you empower stupidity by installing false security and a greater feeling of importance, priority and security. People get run over on crossings every day.
