| Comment | That happens **all the time** at that junction.
I see it happen increasingly across the city. Drivers not stopping before the pedestrian crossing area while they're in a queue of traffic, only to then sit there and block the crossing when there's a green man.
But it happens every single time I cross that and other nearby Charing Cross junctions without fail.
I think it's something about the motorway mentality setting in, either just coming off or about to enter the motorway, that people completely switch off their awareness of other road users that aren't in cars.
It makes for *really* dangerous and unwelcoming areas across the city. The M8/M77 offramp at the Springfield Quay is just as bad. The driving on Paisley Road West is horrendous all around that area, whether the speeds, red light running, or mad high-speed turns without looking. I think it's the same thing: drivers not switching out of that "motorway" mode, despite being in an area full of pedestrians, buses, folk on bikes etc. |
