Traffic on Lordship Lane

[Commuter12]

Closed because it's another traffic one - Admin

As a result of the recent LTN and permeable filters off Lordship Lane, the traffic has increased to unbearable levels. As a cyclist myself, I am all for the measures to encourage safe active travel, however, I think the approach that has been taken is far from equitable. It is simply not fair that residents of Lordship Lane are now forced to suffer from idling traffic at all hours of the day. Lordship Lane has always been dangerous for cyclists as vehicles frequently exceed the 20mph speed limit which is not enforced.

I am having difficulty understanding how this traffic will ever decrease, there are members of our society who rely on a motor vehicle for travel & as (almost) all of the roads into the Village are now closed, there are no alternative routes for this traffic to take.

Is there anything that can be done to campaign for a more fair approach to reducing pollution in the area? Lordship Lane seems to have been ignored in all of the proposals. This is bringing misery to the lives of residents and businesses, not to mention the children of Harris Academy Primary School on Lordship Lane.

By 'permeable filters off Lordship Lane' do you mean every road suddenly closed off by boulders and barriers to cars and motorcyclists?

Southwark must be wasting so much money with their signage. The green ones state obviously that the roads can be passed by pedestrians and cyclists.

This is the Southwark Streetspace Comments page. This is where the council is asking those (both in favour and against) to comment: https://eastdulwichstreetspace.commonplace.is/

It might also be worth writing to the following councillors:

I was thinking the same thing. At this point the admin should just make an entirely separate section for cars and traffic related discussions.....
