Spurling road contra flow cycle route


Recommended Posts

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.
