Pedestrian Crossings in the UK have taken many lives. The majority of the cases were caused by the regulatory body that did not conform to the safety regulations set by the Dft.
This ongoing issue must not continue. It has now taken another innocent and law abiding life - Mrs. Iveta Iravanian.
Leo dropped his wife to work and waved her goodbye and unfortunately 5 minutes later, she was hit by a bus and it dragged her underneath for 50 meters.
She died moments later. This fatal accident happened around 9AM on Friday, 23rd February 2007 at the Lower Grosvenor Garden, London pedestrian crossing.
Further investigations were conducted and Leo had found numerous distressing outcome. He had found that a traffic light was twisted from view which may have caused major confusion to pedestrians.
After numerous and persistent requests to Tranport for London (TfL) to fix the faulty traffic light, it still remains the same to this day.
Please find below links relating to the issue:

How many more people have to die before they actually do something? It is pathetic that these lights are still broken.

This is completely heartbreaking. Such a simple fix could have saved her life. TfL needs to get their act together and stop ignoring these crossings.
