I can kind of understand this, though pedestrians shouldn't really be in danger, if they are then the driver dosn't really deserve to be on the road.
My grandma often used Dutton street until she was fined, she never goes through the pedestrian bit, can get there from Cannon street instead.
Although now you mention the bus only bit!... My dad got run over there a few years back, and the council have still done nothing about this area. The sign is pedestrians only, but I don't think its a legal sign, as in nobody can do anything about it... that or police officers are not doing their job as i've often seen them just walk on by as somebody comes flying through there in their car
