Pedestrian advisory

Just a friendly reminder to all abroad at night in our fair town. The exit from High Street is slightly angled from the horizontal, the exit from Mitton Street is fairly angled from the horizontal. As both exits are opposed to each other and both feature a one-way system that meet this means that headlights on vehicles coming from High Street face directly the vehicles approaching from Mitton Street at an angle that would be consider high-beams i.e. dazzling, as such pedestrians using the splitter triangle to cross to Mitton Street are nigh-on invisible to this traffic in these circumstances.

In other words don't expect traffic to see you as you cross or that vehicles slowing down are doing so because of you.
