Re: sometimes it beggars belief
The crossing is in a really stupid place, both for drivers and pedestrians and is an accident waiting to happen. I was walking up to Asda the other day, and, while I stood waiting to cross an old man drove straight over it oblivious. It's far to close to the roundabout and drivers slam on when they notice someone waiting to cross. I wonder how many people have run in to the car in front at the last minute? It's embarrassing as a pedestrian too, I'm almost apologetic for getting them to stop. Who plans these things? They'd be better doing a local survey asking drivers and pedestrians alike where they think a crossing should be put.
