Or we can just ride slower and be prepared instead.
Peds should be able to walk in London without being in fear of motorised traffic, or in this case, a person on a bicycle.
If every single person in London cross exactly when they should and only at crossing, motorists would actually take more risk when they drive.
A good example is those old railing we used to see in junction, motorists take less care because they think no one cross the road because of the railing.

I do get that but there is only so much road users can do, we have so many other possible dangers on the road to concentrate on from other vehicles.
All we have to do as peds is be a bit more patient when waiting at lights, I don't jump reds when I'm on the bike either, if we all followed the rules that are put there to keep safe then we wouldn't be having this.
I find it depressing that this accident could have been averted so simply.
