Issue
Several participants expressed a preference for far-side pedestrian signals (where the green and red men are on the signal head on the other side of the crossing) over the near-side version (where the green and red men are on the post above the crossing control button). This was despite participants, including those with sight loss, admitting that near-side pedestrian signals were easier to see. For many people the fact that some crossings in Bath had pedestrian signals on one side and some the on the other caused confusion, with people preferring the crossing type they were used to.
Opportunity
One type should of crossing should be used consistently across Bath city centre so that pedestrians get used to always looking in the same place for the pedestrian signals, reducing confusion.
