The Westminster lights v no lights trial is causing concern, e.g. Labour Councillor Paul Dimoldenberg: “The ‘experts’ say that removing traffic lights will speed up traffic. Well, that might be so, but how are pedestrians going to cross the road if the traffic is flowing without a break? These latest moves by Westminster Conservatives and Mayor Johnson are bad news for older people, young children, the disabled and parents with prams ... If the Council wants to experiment by scrapping traffic lights then I hope that those responsible for the experiment will be the first to volunteer to try to cross the road?” - As instigator of the trial, I am more than happy to accept this challenge. I have confidence in human nature. Under the current system of control, common decency lies buried, but when given a chance, it will flourish.
