Most drivers, are sensible for the conditions they drive on, remove the frustration, you will then find them to be even better drivers.
After all the report does state that given the chanch, instead of looking on pedestrians as a nuisance, when we, (any of us using whatever vehicle ), are allowed to use common sense, we would treat all road users as people that have to be considered, instead of the, 'Oh my god woman with a pram move out of my way or I'll miss the lights!
If all junctions had the same priority the boy racer wouldn't be able to attempt a silly speed just because he is on a main road.
Q: Why do cyclists get called so much?
A: Mainly because they ignore the lights and just cut across as they feel needed (they survive because, well let's face it nowt' was coming).
But if we could all approach a junction in a similar fashion, each junction wherever you are has the same priority, side street, main street, dual carriage-way and so on, that would be traffic calming without those stupid humps, and if we all give way to the person that was first there, we won't actually be stopped we can keep going by slowing down to let them in, without chasing those silly Traffic lights.
It doesn't take much to make it law, just look at the daft stuff that has become legal/illegal over the last few years.
