Work has started changing the E&C southern roundabout to a signalised junction.

The plans look to more civilise the this area and should make it much better for pedestrians who will be able to cross at street level rather than via forbidding underpasses. Also, should be an improvement for cyclists.

So good for getting from A to B and also good for reducing fear of crime.

I still think it could be even more ambitious but its taken years to get Transport for London to even agree these changes.
