A posh X-Crossing for London!!

Modern London has been introduced to the famous X-crossing design! The first scramble crossing in Britain, at Oxford Circus, was borrowed from Japan. With a quite funny design, the scramble crossing helps walkers to cross in any direction at an intersection, as all vehicles will stop, allowing people to cross in any direction they like, (including diagonally across the middle), a space until now reserved for taxis and red buses. The man has done the work, but will it be something positive to improve the traffic problems? Some may think its a welcome step forwards for the rights of walkers over traffic, others will definetly think this may cause disruption and confusion with tourists emerging from the Central line to peer at their maps, stopping to stare at the design...
