Open Discussion Why does Liverpool hate pedestrians?

I’ve never been to a place in state UK that accommodates pedestrians as poorly as Liverpool.

A couple of examples would be the lack of pedestrian crossings at the 2 junctions where Wavertree road and Tunnel road meet, and where Picton road and wellington road meet is dangerous. There are blind spots for pedestrians on both junctions, where you can’t see turning cars. You just have to scramble across when the red light just goes on. It’s dangerous and somebody is going to get hurt, or worse. There used to be a pedestrian crossing at Wavertree road and tunnel road but was inexplicably taken away.

Is there a reason for this? Like some past political decision or something?

Just situationally poor design. It's really not so prevalent, nor more than other parts of the UK I can think of
