Victoria Avenue Toucan Crossing 2.
The poles on the Midsummer Common (East) side make for a very tight turn onto the shared pavement, often in the face of people coming the opposite way.
Unsurprisingly, many people follow the path taken by the lady seen in the road - turning into the road and then using the pavement crossover 20m further along to join the cycle track across Midsummer Common.
Solution - move the far (hidden) pole to the kerb line and offset the signal head.
This crossing uses Nearside (Puffin style) crossing indicators.
There is no automatic cycle detection.
