This issue has occurs a lot over the course of the design of puffins,
one solution is to use 'narrow angle of view' puffin units developed by
one or more manufacturer, whilst I believe these units still require
authorisation they can remove many of the problems associated with see
through.
The other main difference can be made by reversing the usual stagger on
staggered crossings as this makes the conflicting aspects point away
from each other, the pedestrians still have to look at the traffic when
they reach the crossing so the traditional 'safety' problems tend to be
reduced as long as the heads are carefully sited.
The other major headache can be triangular islands, in this case you
have to design the crossings as an integral part of the island design
and use limited angle of view puffin heads to stand a reasonable chance.
Hope this helps.

Dear All
Can anyone advise how they have dealt with issues with the see through
problems and puffins? It is not always possible to angle near side
lanterns away from other crossings, any advice?
Kind Regards
