There have been many debates on this point over the years. =20
My own point of view is wait boxes should be fitted in line with the kerb =
edge, directly facing the pedestrian waiting to cross. I believe there is =
an advantage in approaching drivers being warned that a demand is present, =
as indicated by the illuminated 'wait' sign, and should encourage them to =
be ready to stop. I disagree that drivers, in general, would be tempted =
to 'put their foot down' when seeing the 'wait' lamp lit. In Sefton, =
therefore, we have standardised on this approach.
...I also think it looks neater.
