I went back today to try to understand what happened.
The paint while relatively new is not brand new, i took pictures, it is clearly not anti-slip, it is raised up. I guess it's as old as the adjustments to the cycle super highway made earlier this year, so no reason to have warning signs up?
There is a manhole cover directly after one of the bus stop road markings, but i would have needed to tumble 50m from there to where i end up on the ground if that was the cause.
I guess I just have to put this down to an unlucky accident and focus on recovering.
It would be good if the roads in Westminster were safer.
