Subways of death

The lorry crash has reinforced my fears about the subways around the Elephant, I hope the new junction slows traffic speed, and allows pedestrians a degree of authority on the road.

I guess that's one way to fill them in, not sure about the health and safety aspect though.

Wow. I'd have thought you'd have to try pretty hard to turn a lorry over.

I don't want to have a go at lorry drivers.
I'm sure most of them are well trained responsible professionals. I'm sure most of them drive responsibly.

And of course we don't know what caused this accident. The lorry driver could have been swerving to avoid some hazzard on the road.
This could have been the result of responsible driving.

We have to remember that the vast majority of journeys do not end in fatal accidents or upturned lorrys.

following Tolstoy's comment - (and understanding no-one was hurt) I wonder if this was the council experimenting with an innovative new solution??

After reading this story..

I've often wonder if they cant send the traffic below ground at the Elephant and allow the pedestrians to enjoy the daylight? What do others think?

Great idea - if only!
