By definition Perryman it would have been an informal crossing at best. With no markings, lights or signs to dictate it as an actual crossing. Just like the road island further down.

It does of course give the impression it IS a crossing point, but people can't even be bothered to walk up that far, to the straighter part of the road.

I know what you are saying about we will all fall into the category, and in fact on regular occasion I do actually fall under 'disability' so am quite aware of the challenges... However I manage to choose my moment and placing and cross safely.

A formal crossing a point further along near the All in One would be better suited, but I can guarantee you that most wont bother using it, even those who need it.
