    There are four crossings for the Stillorgan Shopping Centre. One between the western boundary and the overflow carpark, one between the eastern boundary and Cassidy's, one between the eastern boundary and the bowling alley and another near the northern boundary. Don't, please, tell me that the lemmings need more than that?

    I'm talking about the reality of the situation. Thats why so many people walk straight out of the pedestrian exit in the middle and across.

    Doesn't happen at Frascati/Blackrock for a reason.

    Frascati has one main exit though (and oanother one to the car park I think?), whereas Stillorgan has three or four. It's not possible to place a crossing at each, on top of road crossings, you'd choke the traffic. It's not a big shopping centre, people jaywalk because it's easier.

    The reason is that there is an island between Frascati and the Blackrock Shopping centre so you can cross in two stages and there are pedestrian lights which are synchronized with the lights at the bottom of Mt. Merrion Ave..

    When the lights go red for the city-bound traffic to allow southbound traffic to turn right & go up Mt. Merrion Ave., the lights between the two shopping centres change in favour of pedestrians.
