I feel deeply honoured that Perryman thinks I deserve a reserved place in his stocks. Wouldn't it be more effective for him to catch any speeding drivers (or even pedestrians not using the road responsibly) personally, and put them there? ...instead of sensible and polite Council highways engineers who've tried to achieve the best solution?

I would be just as interested as Michael in any workable solutions to make crossing safer here. The suggestion of rumble strips on one or both sides of the raised crossing seems worth further investigation.
