This scheme converted a roundabout, which was unfriendly to pedestrians and people on bikes, into two-way roads and created a plaza in front of the station. This is happening at many locations all over London - removing the domination of the car and returning the streets to people. At Highbury some locals are concerned that this scheme may have increased traffic on other roads.
