The coroner's concerns
1. confusing pedestrian crossing layout
“the design of this junction means that it is not obvious to a pedestrian that the only place to look for left for indications as to whether it is safe to cross the road is to their left. There are no such indicators on the opposite side of the carriageway which is ordinarily where a pedestrian would be looking. The signals were situated immediately to the left of where Mr [name redacted] was stood/where any pedestrian would be standing.”
