The table caused confusion when first put in as pedestrians thought it was intended as a place to cross. It's not. The barriers were put in retrospectively to stop them treating it like an invisible zebra crossing. The whole thing felt a bit fudged.

As someone who regularly exits Sloane Square station where they've got a shared surface for pedestrians and cars, I have to say I'm not a fan. It might slow down cars, but it also makes pedestrians assume there are no cars coming and they just step out, causing confusion and alarm and angry drivers.

Has anyone seen the state of the brick paved surface at Gypsy Hill? After last winter's rain it's got sink holes all over the place. It gets a lot of heavy traffic and just isn't up to the job - there are grooves in the surface roughly equivalent to the wheel tracks of the buses that use that route.
