The BBC reports that while I’ve been away in Sheffield, the crossing at Oxford Circus with Regents Street has been redeveloped with a very Japanese influence. It goes without saying that inspiration must have come from the famous Shibuya crossing in Tokyo.
It’s not something I’ve really put much thought to, but this seems like a really good idea, the bottle neck congestion of pedestrians can be infuriating when you’re in a rush, so if it can relieve some of that pressure that’d be pretty sweet.
