Liveable Streatham Wells Jon Irwin ๐ถ๏ธ Yup, we know that feeling. It seems traffic is only traffic when there is an LTN there to blame it on.
Strange that!
Cliff Fandango clare neely The Ranty Highwayman Would be useful to understand where Lambeth Council work on the Road Danger Reduction Strategy is up to, in particular for Leigham Court Road which had been prioritised
clare neely The Ranty Highwayman There is Valley Road, but it can be worse to cycle on than the High Road since the LTN was suddenly suspended
Liveable Streatham Wells Might not be clear to cyclists but theyโre stopped at a red light whatโs the problem?
Welcome back to school kids!
17 April, 8:00. Traffic returning to its usual awful levels on Valley Road
How are the bus priority works going on the High Road?
This problem isn't going away. Please confirm next steps.

James Forrester Paul Lister Liveable Streatham Wells Leigham Court Rd is much more bearable now - the difference is noticeable. What it means is that speeding becomes a problem again, so there are still many issues to solve to make the road safer to cross, & try to enforce the 20 MPH.
James Forrester Paul Lister Liveable Streatham Wells It feels less hair-raising on a daily basis now, itโs the quiet moments leading to people driving at insane speeds that still frightens me. During the holidays when it was very quiet I saw a car driving as if it was at Monte Carlo.
Liveable Streatham Wells Yep, bin days do throw curve balls! No doubt Valley Road needs improvements. Lambeth Council we need you to bring people together to find solutions that work for all.
BellowFind ๐ฒ Liveable Streatham Wells Rubbish. I drove from Norbury to Balham this morning at 0756 and it took me 15 minutes. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC ON SHR THIS MORNING. THIS IS TOTAL BOLLOXS.
Alison Gibbs Paul Lister Liveable Streatham Wells Totally agree with this. My view is on balance it was more dangerous and certainly more unpleasant with slow moving traffic during LTN, due to volume of crossings for school run plus new rat runs in Knights Hill. But yeah speeding still grim (sigh)

Liveable Streatham Wells clare neely The Ranty Highwayman TfL target is for an 800m grid of cycling routes (x% of people will live within 400m)
Need a23, Norwood Road and one in between.
Paul Lister Liveable Streatham Wells Letโs be honest - there was so much more of this when the LTN was live though. Evidenced by experience of bus users. Anybody sensible wasnt blaming instances like this solely on the LTN - but hard to argue that LTN didnโt compound boundary traffic misery (amongst other factors).
Liveable Streatham Wells Claire Holland (((Rezina))) ๐น๐ Sadiq Khan Will Norman Still waiting for the revised LTN plan which was promised!
Caroline Thorpe Glad you had a good cycling experience. You must have been lucky on Valley. It was badly snarled up for much of the school run this am. Not helped by it also being bin day!
Mike Breen ๐ฒ Cycle Calm ๐ต Liveable Streatham Wells Claire Holland (((Rezina))) ๐น๐ Sadiq Khan Will Norman Of course the give way lines are for drivers, pedestrians have priority when crossing side roads.
Unfortunately thereโs a huge number of drivers who are unaware, or donโt care,
