Although there are some very definite advantages in nearside indicators i.e.
users face the oncoming traffic, the ability to use kerbside detection, etc.
we are all aware of their limitations. It is obvious that at some sites,
both at junctions and stand alone crossings, far side signals will be
essential.
The Puffin sequence does not use a black out and one reason for the nearside
indicators is that it prevents people being worried if they are halfway
across the road when the signals change.
Many of us (although not me personally) seem to be of the opinion that black
outs on far sided signals are essential and consequently always use them on
junction signals. However unless we (the industry) agree that it is
acceptable for far side signals to change directly from a red man to green
man then we are unlikely to persuade the DfT to allow far side signals at
Puffins.
Are you of the opinion that we should abandon blackouts?
