The earlier warning

Amanda Coppen · 19 Aug 2016 · Philip Barlow, London Inner (South)

“The evidence was that this layout could mislead road users (pedestrians and motorists) into believing that this is a standard dual carriageway. Ordinary traffic has been seen in the dedicated busway, and pedestrians could be misled into looking the wrong way”
