| Tom, I don't dispute that traffic could have fallen significantly on Rivercourt Road. However, if you look at the responses to the WSP report the assumption is that it would fall dramatically. This was based on an unsourced claim from H&F Council that 80% of people using the road were 'out of borough commuters'. Assuming many residents would not use the road because they didn't have or weren't sure about exemption, then you would expect a fall in usage of about 90% While I acknowledge that I don't pass this junction as often as you, it seems pretty clear that there hasn't been a 90% fall as, more often than not, there is a vehicle emerging from it when I pass. It is unfortunate that in all the times you and Michael have passed this junction you have never seen a vehicle turning into it but I can assure you this is happening. I have seen it on more than one occasion. Why traffic is not falling as much as was originally promised by H&F could be due to various reasons and some of this must be due to non-compliance with the restrictions. As always there are complaints about the signage but I haven't driven along the A4 recently so I can't comment on this issue. It could also be that the number of 'out of borough commuters' was erroneous and a much greater proportion of vehicles using the road were based in H&F which is why there has evidently been no dramatic fall. From your perspective, when traffic counts are published what is the boundary between a dramatic reduction which achieves the aim of the measure and a significant reduction which fails to do so? |
