Lambeth launches Brixton Hill Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) consultation
This morning, Lambeth launched a consultation on their initial designs for a trial Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) in Brixton Hill.

Traffic Filters
Let us know your thoughts on the traffic filters proposed for Brixton Hill. Fill out the survey available here from 14/12/22 to 22/01/23.

So yeah, they're letting it remain a shortcut across the corner for traffic coming South. That's rubbish!
If there's no oncoming traffic, drivers will be able to put their foot down and get up to 40 past the school, no problem.

Considerably more Brixton.
I still don't think that's correct.
My reading of the info is this is
- no entry into New Park Road from the South Circular
- New Park Road itself remains two way but all traffic exiting from the yellow area will have to do so from Dumbarton Road
So NPR is going to have very little northbound traffic, but is going to be at least as busy as before southbound but will probably be quieter and safer than before (but would really benefit from some zebra crossings and bollards to stop drivers cutting over the pavement on the 'chincane' things that got built a few years back)
It's 'blamed' on Tfl so I'm guessing they were worried about capacity on the right turn onto the south circular at the top of Brixton Hill. Dumbarton should still be a lot better than it is now as you won't get the traffic that was rat running north or south on Lyham Road. It's a trial - I guess wait and see what it feels like on those roads.

Is it? I can’t think it’s going to make much difference at all to the traffic, on one of the few roads in the area with a school and which desperately needs pedestrian right of way (crossings as you say).
It seems really badly thought out although to be clear, should it make no difference/make things worse then I’ll be placing the bulk of responsibility on the actual drivers and their entitlement.

There will be no northbound rat running, of which there Is definitely some (though less than southbound). I’d be surprised if total north + south wasn’t down by a third

Less traffic doesn’t always mean slower traffic though. Tbf most of the traffic I see comes from the way that’s still allowed anyway. And that’s the issue with that road - crossing families and children (some unaccompanied) plus cars refusing to give way to them and often driving way too fast for the circumstances.
And I wonder if being part of the LTN will mean it’s less likely it will get that zebra crossing/school road status in the future?

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
Filter at bottom of Branksome Rd is interesting - no entry from Acre Lane. Definitely need to stop rat running Acre Lane-Branksome-Lambert-Brixton Hill. Lots of residents complaining though that they’ll need to drive to town hall then up Brixton Hill to access that area.
They are just antis who’ve given the same answer to every question, they will be ignored.

“I’m so surprised we didn’t win in court after spending so much money” is exquisite
Railton Road pre-LTN you'd be risking your life almost every time you cycled down it. Drivers wouldn't give way. It still happens sometimes, but nowhere near to the same level it used to be.
It's similar with Lyham Road currently if you dare to go down there. Hopefully this can help calm things down.

Yep - and it was the same with Upper Tulse Hill. Drivers speeding to overtake on the wrong side of the central islands and barrelling down the narrower bit outside Holy Trinity and not giving way.
Really can’t understand how people don’t see how awful our roads so often are and why we need action. I suspect it’s because many of them only see them from the sage cocoon of a car.

New kerbside strategy’s just drop!!
I LIKE it.
Obv LTNs have been divisive & can be difficult to grasp. This is a lot clearer in aims and how they’ll be achieved. It’ll be interesting to see how people respond.
Especially a tree every 25 meters
What can’t be blamed on LTNs?!!
Loving the new census data showing car ownership in Lambeth bucks the national trend and households with car or can access remain very low.
Lots of antis claimed the last (2011) data was too old to count…

He's a proper loon that one.
I like his video of a speeding 'blue light' vehicle that is clearly driving slowly without it's blue lights on
It's the combination of stupidity and dishonesty that makes them such gloriously ineffective campaigners...
