Turning right from East Dulwich Road onto Forest Hill Rd


Guest Bruce

Recommended Posts

This junction is a madness. Why oh why do we not have a right filter, rather than asking everyone to commit the kamikaze manouvers needed to turn right?


If enough people feel the same, (which they must do?) maybe we could raise a petition and get them to spend our council tax on something useful for once?

I agree Bruce, it's pretty hazardous.


For a while there used to be a car ambulance parked up on the corner of the Rye - I wasn't sure whether it was there as a deterrent or because there are regular accidents on the junction or both.


There's no right filter to turn South on to Peckham Rye (which turns in to Forest Hill Road by the Herne Tavern/Dunstans Road as far as I know) so you often find people at the front of the queue turning right in front of oncoming traffic just as the lights turn green.


I'd be more than happy to put my name on the petition.


I'd also like to petition for better speed restriction on Peckham Rye, especially around the juntion with Dunstans Road. People drive like complete maniacs. I wonder how many of them are parents.


Also, why is there no barrier or fence at the bottom of the downhill path coming out of Peckham Rye Park on to Peckham Rye Park opposite the Herne Tavern? It's madness - the amount of children who go hurtling down the path on foot or on bikes and there's nothing to stop them going straight on to the busy road which people drive way too fast on.

Sadly there was a fatal accident at this junction yesterday evening.


According to this story in thisislondon.co.uk


A 12-year-old girl was knocked down and killed by a bus on a busy street in front of horrified onlookers. Blessing Olayiwola, who was struck by the single decker, died instantly.


The schoolgirl was hit by the Number 12 bus on Peckham Rye, at the junction with East Dulwich Road, just after 7pm yesterday.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
