| "The idea that vehicles hardly ever turn in is wrong, I saw this happen again earlier today" Your logic is flawed. Just because you saw a single vehicle turn in does not negate that the total number of vehicles turning in may still be less than any other street along the cycle way. That is why traffic surveys are needed rather than this sort of anecdote. "The answers seems to very straightforward — make Rivercourt one way." That isn't aligned with LBHF policy. The measures aren't intended to make life easy for drivers. "Retention of one-way working would transform the intention of the scheme from one which seeks to improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclists at the top of the borough’s road user hierarchy, to one which benefits private car users, who are at the bottom. Keeping the one-way arrangement will mean that cars have a frictionless passage south-to-north between the A4 and King Street, allowing them to achieve greater speeds through a residential street – an issue that is even more likely in this location due to the high-speed environment of the A4, from which they will have just exited." |
