Lights Gone?

I just went to cross the road at the pedestrian lights at the bottom of the Square and there they were....Gone! Anyone notice when that happened or know if they are going to be replaced with Zebras again or what? They need to have some kind of traffic calming thing there as cars are coming from three sides (four if a bus…

So it seems they didn't remove the old lights between Garvey's and the square, they added new lights between Garvey's and Fox's.
At least that's what it looks like today.

My understanding is that all they were doing was moving the pedestrial lights back to between Garveys and Foxes, instead (perhaps as well as?) the ones between the bus shelters corner and the Meryck.

Am hoping that I am wrong. Don't think so, though.

There are now 3 sets of lights, the new ones are between garveys and foxes but importantly all 3 work on the same cycle now so they all turn red together and then all turn back green together.
They should now be easier for pedestrians and it removes the chance of people coming round the corner at garveys to not be able to see a red light for pedestrians
Now once taxis stop blocking the corner whenever its busy it might work alright
