When I heard that I thought there had been quite a few accidents in that area over the past few years. Possibly they stick out more as I pass through there most days. It's a poor junction for cycling with a cycle lane up on the left-hand side of the left-turn lane.
It's also going to be one of the HS2 routes so I imagine there'll be a huge increase in construction vehicles going down there.

I didn't mean to imply that there were few crashes. As in all one-way systems, there are a lot of them. There just don't seem to have been many fatalities.
If HS2 comes, the likelihood of there being deaths will certainly increase. Obviously, we hope there won't be any, but we saw what happened while the Shard was being constructed, mainly on Tower Bridge Road. I haven't heard of fatalities or serious incidents there since, even though there is still a lot of construction work going on at London Bridge Station. Perhaps the fact that HS2 will likewise be a railway project will mean that it will be managed better than the Shard works appear to have been.

I don't think there have been many fatalities in that area, at least not in recent years.
One moment you're walking along, full of plans, hopefully reasonably happy, the next moment you're dead.
It's so awful to contemplate that it's really hard not to try to inure yourself to it somehow.
