You may or may not know, but mid-block signalled crossings are a bit of a UK-specific phenomenon. In many other countries (in Europe, anyway), signalled crossings are part of junctions.<br>

I would not say so, I know a lot in Germany. Often they are on-demand.<br>
There are also plenty cases when there is a signalled crossing on a<br>
tertiary road near a junction with a residential, and the traffic light<br>
only regulates the pedestrian flow across the tertiary, while the<br>
motor traffic coming from the residential into the tertiary is<br>
unregulated.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
