It's usually stated that continental accidents are generally higher - but I
doubt that there will be a direct comparison with UK for this particular
issue. The French/Italian systems seems 'hairy' to us - but our trouble is
that from the UKs current starting point on junctions almost anything 'more
efficient' will be 'more hairy' (or perhaps 'more ambiguous' is a softer
way of saying it). Ironically, in UK we've had a 35 year 'ambiguity affair'
at mid-block crossings (pelicans through puffins), and now we've concluded
that the real congestion is usually at junctions, we are presented with a
much tougher problem to try to introduce some level of ambiguity into
junctions. But on the positive side - the advantage we have at junctions
is that we can opt to selectively deal only with the slower turning traffic
- so there may be hope - this does seem a fruitful line of discussion!
