Yep.

As you enter the road from Crawthrew, you have two no entry signs in front of you, so you have to turn right & on each side of the road are clear signs that it is a one way street.

There is nothing to hint that a bike may be coming towards you.

Is that normal? A one way street in which two way traffic is legal.

Seems odd.

Sure they will get round to putting up signage; they usually do a little after they've painted the cycles on the carriageway. At the very least, they'll put a 'Except cycles' under a no entry sign but they'll often put up a sign that illustrates the contraflow showing the bike coming the other way. It seems to work reasonably well in other streets - aside perhaps from Melford Road where the parked cars on either make it a little bit of a lottery to choose to cycle against the main traffic!


Only Me! I believe Sustrans are campaigning for all new one-way layouts to be designed so that they are two-way for cycles.

Really? I'll have to check tho' I'm sure you re correct


And no there is nothing to warn motorists - I'm VERY careful as I make the left turn out of Spurling onto Crawthew


Roll on proper signage!

Is this what all the cones and temporary signs that have gone up today around Crawthew Grove/Spurling Road are about? They put a sign on my car today saying 'marking to be installed on 21/3 or we'll move your car'. Thanks for approximately zero days notice whatsoever.
I'll mosey on down there tomorrow to have a look. I hope whatever is being done is handled more efficiently than seemed the case in 2010, when they installed planning notices and road markings for a cycle contraflow in Bellenden Road, only to eventually remove them all. See the second page of the forum thread about it here: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,549542,564166#msg-564166

You should indicate when you are about to leave which is obviously a left turn.

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother.
