I cant understand why they dont wait? its going to save them like what 20 seconds? its only 3-4 car lengths? so dangerous on a blind bend too, only a matter of time before one of these numpties kills someone.

@knoxieman This is the place where a car ran into me as I was crossing on my bike, he got fine £215 & 5 points for careless driving

Poor road design and a lack of respect for other road users. There will be a coming together one day..

@lanzecki The keep left bollards are there to allow the a safe crossing for the school children but what it needs is a proper crossing i.e.toucan as this is also the link to the cycle path

[lanzecki]

@taypet21 Very true. The problem I see is that peds will not look the 'wrong way' for those cars when standing at the pedestrian refuge. They'll look away from the camera to the traffic that should be on that side, and not even think to look the wrong way. Bang...... And chances are since it's near a school, it'll be a school child. Make a series of clips and send it to the council/newspapers. You might just save someone from harm.

@lanzecki Thats exactly what happened to me on the bike at this spot & the idea is send them to the local council when I have enough clips

Know you've parked closer to the junction I can see where this is now. The previous clips had me baffled for the location though I did recognise it.
