A similar concern from this report was raised again 1 time later. See the linked reports.
The coroner's concerns
1. lack of pedestrian crossing at busy crossroads
“Transport for London (TfL) made a decision in 2007 that that it would not undertake any consideration of pedestrian crossings at that crossroads until after the completion of HS1”
2. delayed response to complaints about dangerous crossroads
“UNISON has made several complaints to Camden Council/TfL about the dangers of this particular crossroads, but TfL's best expectation of delivery of any improvement is for the year 2020”
3. reliance on serious injury/death statistics only
“The statistics upon which TfL decisions about traffic control are based, were described to me by TfL's lead sponsor as only taking account of the proportion of collisions/accidents that result in serious injury or death, not taking into account the overall incidence of collisions/accidents (or even taking into account reported near misses)”
