Oxford Circus, in London's West End shopping district, accommodates 43,000 people and 2,000 vehicles every hour. But not very well. It's chaotic, crowded, and dangerous.

Many of these improvements-raised crosswalks and curb extensions, for example-follow the suggestions for livable street design from GOOD's transportation issue. And the Shibuya-style diagonal crossings are fun.More about the Oxford Circus project at The Architect's Journal.Thanks, Cliff.
