This is on K road. I used to live there decades ago when I was a student because it was so cheap at the time. It was where all the prostitutes and drug addicts hung out. Pretty disgusting place at night. Constantly being accosted by diseased trannys and dodging puddles of vomit on the ground.
I remember seeing a couple of people hit (but not killed) on that exact crossing. Funny that the government decided to make it even more dangerous.
