On sat a police car on an emergency call flew into oxford circus junction during ped crossing; peds started running everywhere (away from and into the path of the police car), the police started trying to weave through streams of people at speed, had to slam on the anchors, tried to accelerate again before screeching to a halt as another few peds ran into it's path.It all struck me as amazingly dangerous. I wonder if this scenarios was thought about when the ped crossings were redesigned.
