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.

    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
