We've installed another three new simple zebra crossings, this time near Edgware Road.

Without them drivers yield to pedestrians around 40% of the time. With them, it's around 80%.

(Based on monitoring results from our first 4 sites)
Junction of Chapel and Cabbell Streets. Two simple side road zebras without Belisha beacons can be seen with pedestrians crossing and a driver yielding. Edgware Road underground station entrance visible in the background. North junction of Chapel and Cabbell Streets. One simple side road zebras without Belisha beacons can be seen with pedestrians crossing. Edgware Road underground station entrance is visible. Junction of Transept and Chapel Streets looking West with three pedestrians crossing a simple side road zebra without Belisha beacons.

A segregated cycle track along part of Southgate Street in Gloucester is under construction. Sadly my objection to a poor design (see pic) was ignored during 'consultation.' Pedestrian crossing on right is very busy. Brown carriageway at bottom allows car access to premises but is very uneven.
An image of a new segregated two-way cycle track on Southgate Street, Gloucester, England, looking south, now under construction. There is a parallel priority crossing of Kimbrose Way on the right for pedestrians and cyclists. West of this road, cyclists will have to negotiate a very sharp bend and give way to pedestrians on a busy walking route, both of which could have been avoided with a better design.

The government claims that airport expansion will help the economy. But airports take out more money than they bring in.
