Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Endymion Road Zebra Crossing - again
The column and beacon on the outside of the bend (that is, the more visible of the two) has been removed - and the hole in the pavement neatly filled in - in the last few days.
Anyone know anything, particularly when it will be replaced - I assume a vehicle hit it? Tell me it wasn't a casualty of the Arctic Monkeys.....
Last autumn both black-and-white striped columns and orange flashing Belisha beacons were renewed - there was discussion and action here about it. Somewhat ironic then that the old, tatty one survived for decades - the new one has lasted six months.

Just saw this thread, there was a serious accident where a car lost control and hit the wall near the crossing. The driver had to be taken via air ambulance.
I would like to know people's views on the location of the zebra crossing. To me, it's unsafe to have the crossing at a bend where drivers come speeding down. I've approached the council to restrict the speed by placing down road bumps but they did not think the casualties were high enough to warrant that!

Saltpig, those questions were discussed in this earlier thread - Karen Alexander, as a ward councillor at the time, had raised the issue with the Sustainable Transport council officials some time ago.

Personally I think the crossing is well placed for drivers from both directions to see that it's there. That piece of road is relatively short so placing the crossing on one of the straight pieces could mean that drivers are surprised when they come around the corner and are suddenly faced with a crossing. And yes, I do know that there should be signs warning of it's location and that drivers should be more alert but we're living in the real world here.
