kpc Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 BBC Travel website no longer reporting this incident so hopefully now cleared. Will find out soon enough one way or another.

TonyQuinn Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Indeed let's hope the person is ok. But a note of caution on that junction. I have noted it on several occasions but nothing seems to be done. Huge blind spot coming out of Goodrich onto Lordship, especially if there are vans near the junction. Much easier to drive down and come out on Heber if council not going to do anything about it.

Pugwash Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Agree it is a blind spot- you only just see people coming out as you are nearing the junction when driving up the hill.The other day I noticed that 2 women with buggies and a child in tow were attempting to cross LL at that point. Fortunately a car coming up the hill spotted them and was able to slow down and indicate them to cross. I was on a bus going down the hill - who also spotted the group and stopped.

James Barber Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I've asked for details of the last three year crash stats for this junction and will share here when i have them.

kford Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Well, it looks like poor sightlines again, caused by parked vehicles (see pic). Just extend the double-yellows up and down LL for 10 metres and road users will see vehicles sooner.The same problem remains at the Barry Road/Underhill Road, despite the improvements to the junction.

James Barber Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 It's a tricky one kford.Good sight lines often result in speeding. Barry Road/Underhill Road will take a year from the changes to decide whether they've had the impact I hope they will.Lets find out the crash stats for this junction. One my current understanding of crashes in East Dulwich we should get Lordship Lane between Goose Green and Melbourne Grove 20mph.

kford Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Good sightlines cause speeding? Based on what evidence?! Good sightlines are a fundamental of safe road design. If your ambition is to slow the traffic on LL, then you should've prevented the repainting of the white centre lines last week - there is ample evidence to prove that no road markings slow traffic. It's one of the principles of the SharedSpace movemnent, of which I know you are a fan.

Bronte Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 James, if you are requesting the crash stats for the junction in question, could you also look at the stats for the stretch of road between the library and Upland Road? There have been several incidents to my knowledge, including a serious one outside my house a few months ago. Thanks.

James Barber Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hi kford,Agree on the white lines but they don't ask cllrs before doing maintenance.I've just been sent the crash stats for the junction of Goodrich Road with Lordship Lane. In the 3 years up to March zero reported crashes.Slightly further afield - 5 slight and 2 severe road casualties on west half of Lordship Lane between Heber Road and Townley Road, 3 slight injuries across from junction with Landells road, and finally 1 slight injury 50m south from junction with Milo Road.I'm hopeful that the road layour changes near to Plough Lane will resolve those 3 going forward.What has come from this is a problem around the bus stop by the dentists. Echnically being the west side of Lordship Lane these happened in Village ward but I don't think I'l be treading on their toes by asking where this location fits in officers plans for reducing road casualties.

mrure Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Thanks, but I would like a bit more information than "good stats". Maybe James can help.
