The way Blackett Street was redesigned years ago, it gives the perception that it's already pedestrianised, with the single level pavement/road. That is evident from the way people just drift out across, despite buses coming hurtling towards them. There's been times I've been stood photographing there, and you could quite easily count a near miss every other minute, if you were keeping a record.

The near misses aren't new. I was one myself when I worked on Blackett Street, in the late 80s. I almost had "she were wiped out by the Dumpling Hall bus" on my premature grave.
