I remembered last Friday to call the Council and report the defective Belisha beacon at the zebra crossing outside the village shop (one with globe unlit, LED halos flashing erratically) - this week the maintenance team have shut off both beacons and locked off the entire crossing with a barrier (Belisha beacons predate zebra crossings, and indicate pedestrians have right of way, presumably the Council risks legal liability if someone is knocked down whilst the beacons are out..)

@vfrmedia By the way, I found it a bit confusing when I came to UK that pedestrians have right of way on *some* crossings, but not on others...

In most of Europe pedestrians have right on *any* marked crossing which is quite consistently enforced.
