This appeared a while back at the end of our road, lord knows why?
I've never seen anyone use the diagonals and although I have had to queue at the vets once on this corner it ain't Shibuya - Tokyo made me feel like an ant when on the ground, it seems like chaos but actually works really smoothly. Scramble crossings are from the US I believe, like much of Japans post war urban environment.
I doubt it will work well here especially on the tourist/bus hell of Oxford St. which I loathe cycling down.
More chaos to try to avoid on the way home.
Boris should have stuck to telly and scribbling.
