Stupid shared space thing in Sloan Square. This is a road, I wandered out of the tube, was obviously fiddling with my iPhone then out of the corner of my eye saw something big and fast, looked up and a car sped past me a foot away, had I of not stopped in my tracks it would of hit me. three more went past equally fast, you would think drivers would go though slowly, but NOPE.
There is a mini sign you don’t notice one bit, it looks like a parking restriction notice, as it’s not in the visual language of pedestrians to pay attention to such street furniture, we look for patterns on the road and flashing lights.
Utterly brainless, on what level is this a good thing, there is no positive/benefit to it at all. I guess they thought they would try it out here and see if they can take out a few tourists.
