If the Brand St / Grammar School Walk / Paynes Pk junction is
put on a raised table then a bus or HGV would be able to overrun the pavement
build out.
The trick is to use materials that suggest to drivers that the “overrun”
area is not strictly road, and to pedestrians that it is not strictly footway.
That way you should not get conflict. If you do, by having it on a raised table
it should be low speed conflict.
