Selly Oak Diagonal Crossing

Selly Oak Diagonal Crossing
This diagonal crossing takes people between The Dingle (and hence the canal tow path) and the main cycleway on the opposite side. It side-steps the need to use multiple toucan crossings with their associated delays. For people heading south this crossing is excellent, but alas as the next photo shows, people heading north are not granted the same level of consideration. One minor niggle is that it is not obvious which beg button to use, as it is mounted on the same post as the beg button for the pedestrian crossing for Elliot Road. Note the traffic jam, with drivers queuing across the junction crossings. This is often the case on a Saturday afternoon, which is when the photo was taken.
