A similar concern from this report was raised again 1 time later. See the linked reports.
The coroner's concerns
1. misleading layout causing pedestrians to cross incorrectly
“the layout of Pilot Busway and the neighbouring road (West Parkside) is unusual: they run side by side; West Parkside consists of a single carriageway in each direction; Pilot Busway consists of a single dedicated bus lane in each direction. 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”

“A zebra crossing was installed on 15 March 2016, south of, but close to, the junction, to provide an additional crossing from the Millennium Village area to the existing primary school, and a safer crossing route between Pilot Busway and West Parkside.”
