| Thanks Chris, this is really great news. All this will mean that traffic will be slowed down along the High Road quite a bit and become much safer for pedestrians. I am worried about what that will do to Wellesley Road though. It is being used as a rat run to Kew Bridge as it is and introducing frequent traffic lights to the High Road will be an incentive for even more drivers to use it. Traffic there is far too fast for such a narrow road anyway. I would love it to get narrowed down to 1 bus width in a number of places with alternating right of way. That seems preferrable to road humps, doesn't damage cars, is no problem for ambulances, but does the job of slowing down traffic and spoiling the fun of a rat run. Any chance? |
