Dictating behavior?

Spotted just outside The Werks, Hove. It caused me to double-take before a rush of thoughts came to my attention.. why is it not in use.. it is in use, I just used it.. was the aim to stop people using the crossing.. was it to warn users of a change.. does the island imply crossing.. don’t dictate to me what is or isn’t in use by me.
From there I was left wondering how perception is altered, if at all by a sign like this, it’s aim after-all is safety. Is the perceived threat of using the crossing increased? Did I act accordingly with increased threat. Did I even note the increased threat.
You get the picture.
