An excellent and clear design. Whereas SCC have already erected yellow signs at one crossing and warning signs at another (also pictured). Rubbish design.

Roads aren't the only way to move around in a city and region on the water.
Good news here, let's hope that this isn't just about keeping what we already have and is actually the first step in a newly growing network of water based links...

Helsinki planners have modelled what happens when pedestrians are prioritised, rather than forced to wait ages to cross.

They found that a 5% improvement in the walking environment leads to a 2.3% increase in public transport use and €8.5 million increase in fares.
