I got a ticket there once, some years ago when new to the area.


I've never done it since.


E2A: I cycle up/down rye lane every day and quite often still see motorists going straight on. I used to gently tap on their windows and advise them but got too many drivers giving a mouthful of abuse or aggressively asking me what I was doing "banging" on their window, that I now think "Fuck 'em".

if you were following a bus up the road and missed the signs then you were obviously to clos to the bus,busses stop suddenly and you wont see the bus stop coming either....you should really have had a distance between you where you could see the bus wing mirrors,accordingly the bus driver would be able to see you behind him,and here is the best bit,he might not even indicate that he is stopping ,let alone right or left.......another reason to stay further behind....I know the road and I know the turnings involvedand have no problem with it and never have,but as a cyclist a few years ago I learnt the route and signs.....no point arguing ,ive been caught for less before and u just wont win..but you might be lucky

It's not always like that though - I live above his junction and its chaos

(And noisy) all day. People who have never driven in this area get

caught out all the time - more often northbound now.


Rye lane itself would be strange to a newcomer - I remember walking down it

For the first time years ago.


You see the panic as they see the signs late and sometimes reverse.


Sometimes people used to get out of cars to argue.


The biggest issue is just stats, so many people do it so something

in the design is wrong IMHO.


Edit: and the whistlers back :(

I agree with JohnL


" if you were following a bus up the road and missed the signs then you were obviously to clos to the bus "


it's really not as simple as that , with the height of a double decker and the positioning of the signs it is possible for the bus to obscure the signs .


It's difficult to drive up Rye Lane and leave the distance between you and the bus that would be necessary to easily spot the signs .

    • Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.
    • Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/
    • CIC is not the appropriate vehicle for a fund-raising intermediary.  CICs are for businesses that typically sell something or provide a service for social good  but are not for profit; a community cafe or arts centre, or an IT skills training centre for  unemployed people. it costs £65 to set up  a CIC, the scrutiny is less than for a full charity, and the administrative burden is pretty low if you don’t file accounts. It’s hard to prove a negative, but if you were trying to build a credible, positive case for giving money to street collectors for CityHive CIC, that might be a little harder still… tho thank you, Zahid for joining the Forum to give it a go.
