Has anyone ever been run over or had a near miss at the pedestrian crossing near the old Lloyds Bank (near the Hough retail park)?
Only it is a really badly designed crossing, there's only traffic flow signals on the one side, meaning people who rather naughtily wait in the yellow box and then turn when the red lights come on are missing the fact the green man is on.
My friend who has a guide dog has recorded video of at least 3 cars going through while the green man is showing. If you can't easily see the cars coming then you're likely to get run over.
Here's the Google street view showing the pedestrian crossing with lights only on the one side.

Now I realise waiting on the yellow box area is an offense, but for the sake of a few quid for some extra lights it might save someone getting run over. It's not like anyone is going to stand there all day writing tickets for those in the yellow box.
