There's a lot of infra on this intersection to physically separate cars and pedestrians. At a guess, I'd say it played a role in harm reduction here. The driver was on tram lines and not the footpath.

This intersection is Melbourne CBD's only scramble crossing as far as I know. By that, I mean the light turns red in all directions while pedestrians get the entire road. It's a difficult spot to really separate them from traffic.
