yes.theres always going to be a period where people are like wtf is this crossing?
then after enough people have got used to it then they settle down,
now as its London my friend you could argue that first time visitors wouldnt have seen them before, therefore more incidents, however they work in Oz etc etc so why not here.
Its great London leading the country in this, as my gig is promoting more equality between all road users, and out here in the sticks its a mission to even persuade engineers that peds should even get 10 seconds crossing as compared to 5 minutes road traffic(hypothetical figures).
so, if London can put one in then we can say to other remedial councils-- yes you can slow down traffic, look they do it in the middle of London.
