We also get continual complaints - not just about the aspects but that the
buttons do not work.
When we meet them on the street, we find them pressing the lights, the
hinges, in fact anything but the button.
It's new, I believe it will be better (eventually) but, as with
decimalisation and metrication, the change over is horrendous.
I'm very much in favour of press releases, and have tried some, but not in
favour of additional signs which are a distraction
and an obstruction for and of pedestrians waiting to cross.
Regards
Grahame.

Please respond to tcug
We have endless complaints from the public on this subject. Most people
want the far side indicators back but would accept a combination of
both.

Very sticky situation,
We have just converted a farside segregated pedestrian and cycle
crossing=
to a good old nearside Toucan crossing. The complaints we are
receiving =
are horrendous especially with regards to the nearside display units
(we =
have even used over height display units). Also the standard Toucan
layou=
t is not a winner. We have directed people to the DfT video on their
webs=
ite. Has anyone had other issues with this?? And are the DfT going to
adv=
ertise this on TV???
