1/12 Twitter version of my paper for #PMAC2019 Archaeologies of Now (sorry it's late). An Instagram project that grew into an exploration of the ubiquitous but non-standard walking man (industry term). Used world wide but freehand ones seem peculiar to the UK. 
2/12 1974 US study of cycle & pedestrian provision in Europe: only Carnaby St pedestrianised in London; Glasgow, Leeds and Birmingham little better. Unlike all other countries, UK has no red/green person symbol at crossings though rolling it out within next 10 years #PMAC2019
