Maybe when someone gets killed or seriously injured running the gauntlet across the road dividing the Great Circle will something be done. It beggars believe that they don't even have a lighted crossing considering all the school-kids that cross over there! EH have gates on either side for the public to pass through and will be held responsible for allowing it to happen.
I once stopped for some pedestrians who were crossing (trying to cross!) from the south-west quadrant to the south-east quadrant. The fury of the the driver behind me was unbelievable. The crossing from the Red Lion to the north-east and north-south quadrants (not to mention the two bus stops situated either side of the road from the Red Lion) is really, really dangerous, and it just beggars belief that there’s no pedestrian crossing there (not to mention that, at last count, the speed limit there was still 30mph!). Crazy.

Yes I agree. I'm staggered that gates openly invite you to cross the road without there being an official crossing. There has to be a serious reason why not surely.
