Why do councils spend so much on pedestrian safety at crossings, adding sight lines, lights, safety islands when Vancouver have a simple effective safety solution..

There are of course other safety options that may be more effective 😉

The link doesn't open for me, but if this is a more effective means for road crossings then contact DfT.  If I can have the link I will speak to my many contacts on road safety.  I expect they are up to speed on alternatives, but you never know.

There was a story many years ago about the match company Bryant and May losing money.  Some consultants were brought in and said the answer is simple.  Just have the sandpaper on one side.  It's a total urban myth, strike anywhere matches always had sandpaper just in one side.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).

      Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft.

      Move to SE22, school recommendation?

      By Hen123 · Posted

      Lots of good primary schools within reach of there. Fairlawn, Goodrich, Ivydale and Horiman. Secondary schools you will definitely get into the Harris Academies or Sydenham Girls or Forest Hill Boys, you might just be on the boundary for the East Dulwich or North Dulwich Charter but it changes every year.
