A new pedestrian crossing was launched to much acclaim in London today. I would insert a link here, but this Typepad doesn't seem to let me, which is pretty crazy for a blogging app.
Anyhow. I love this new crossing. Finally someone, somewhere has designed a piece of public infrastructure around the actual behavior of the human. Rather than a preconceived idea of that behaviour.
In other words, I've walked diagonally across that crossing many times, now you can do it legitimately.
Google "London new crossing" and "desire paths" and you'll be able to finish this post yourself, seeing as this app won't let me
Welcome to the 21st century, London.

If I'd known this was what was keeping you from our very important meeting yesterday I would have been more upset.
If we re-arrange, why don't we just meet in the middle of the crossing and have a chat there for half an hour or so ?
