Oxford Circus re-design

I used to live just up on the left from the Hat and Stick....

Ox Circus Junction is ridiculous, but I genuinely believe that if they remove the street barriers, peds are going to get splatted by buses bigtime. It's one example of how people do sometimes need protecting from themselves.

Lordy! I thought I was the only one still calling it The Hat and Stick. I actually "corrected" my post to the proper name :-)

I think it should be OK providing the pedestrian phases are long enough and there's some enforcement against amber-jumping.
