Re Adrian Chiles’s column (Have I found Britain’s very worst traffic lights for pedestrians?, 27 September), the good pedestrians of York should count their blessings that they don’t have the worst pedestrian crossing in Britain, because it’s here in Plymouth. More specifically at Mutley Plain. Here there are no complaints about the green man – because there isn’t one.
When the crossing was widened to four lanes, it was considered too expensive to install pedestrian lights, so everyone now has to take their chance that the traffic lights won’t go green mid-crossing. How lucky do you feel?
