| With due respect, Luther, Please read what Mr Brandt posted again. He refers to "no fatalites plural." I have checked and there is only one recorded fatality at South Ealing Stn to Church lane since 2002 when the pelican crossing was installed. A deeper look which can be accessed via the TFL/Metropolitan Police traffic division traffic records reveals a number of accidents that were not caused by a driver but by "undue attention actions of a pedestrian". A bit vague but this ranges from drunks to simply not looking. Cyclists have come of the worst many from car doors being opened into their paths. Mr Brandt also does not dismiss road safety but questions the wisdom of whether those enhancements will make road safety better for all road users. From my take on the proposals it is hard to see what will be achieved apart from rat running and an increase in traffic in residental roads, precisely where all these people you mention live including you and I. Something I most definitely do not want to see happen. |
