We are coming under increasing pressure to provide pedestrian routes 
through junctions which appear direct to the pedestrians.  Whereas 
previously we would have tried to stagger separately controlled movements 
to make it clear that they were separate crossings and to avoid problems 
with seeing the wrong ped signals, we are now being asked to line them up 
as for a straight across crossing.

I appreciate that by using nearside pedestrian signals the problems 
associated with seeing the wrong ped head can be removed, all be it with 
a risk of seeing no ped head.  However, is it reasonable to assume that 
it will be clear to users that the individual crossings should be treated 
separately?

I would welcome any views or experiences that others may have had with 
regards to using 'un-staggered' crossings.
