In relation to Peter Jones comments - I don't know if he is talking about the
same thing - but we are not talking about vehicle read-through of pedestrian
near-side indicator signals (although others admittedly claim that this is also
a problem) - we are talking about pedestrian read-through problems (ie.
pedestrians treating a nearside signal at an 'adjacent' crossing at a junction
- as being for in effect like a far-sided signal for themselves). I suspect in
most instances where this happens that this is mainly a sub-concious reaction
by people who are more used to far-sided signals).

I cannot understand how a motorist could confuse a low level wait
indicator showing a green man for a green traffic signal, however, the
use of these indicators probably eliminates the UK ever making use of
low level signal indicators, as in France.
