Once upon a time there was a flyover-cum-bridge near the train station in Leeds city centre that made getting to the other side of the road a doddle, as opposed to trying to dodge and weave through all the traffic.
However, this much easier system was removed because of crime. There were multiple reports of stabbings, abuse and drug dealing which led to the flyover's removal and some consider it quite a loss.
The current process for getting to the station, from say, the Trinity shopping centre is hardly arduous, but the traffic lights can infuriate some people. There are two sets, one on the initial taxi rank outside the entrance of the station and one just opposite O'Neil's, it can be a bit treacherous trying to cross, especially on a busy day - which is why the flyover was a preferred option.
