Traffic lights Lordship Lane (old harvester/ tile place junction )

The traffic lights when turning right at the old harvester/ tile place junction leading onto College Road has a really short timer on it, not even 5 seconds, creating a queue as cars cannot move quickly.


Anyone else experienced this.


Who would be the best person to speak to get the timer reset to 10-20 seconds..

The phasing is different at different times of day/weights of traffic. I agree that it can cause a back up of cars towards Lordship Lane when the right turn phase is short, but the aim appears to be to keep the weight of traffic around the South Circular flowing freely.


When the right hand turn phase into College Road is short, the equivalent right hand turn out of College Road on to the South Circular towards Forest Hill is much longer, so it appears to be a bit of give and take.

Remember there was a consultation last year to remodel the junction by including traffic island crossings making it safer to cross, especially on Dulwich Common which is dangerous currently with people trying to reach Cox's Walk. No idea when the works will commence.

There has been a consultation and pedestrian crossings will be installed, I think in January.


There's a thread about it on here somewhere.

Fair enough. I got the following email on 2 May:


TfL Consultations


Thu, 2 May, 11:57


to TfL


Dear Sir or Madam




Between 13 September and 25 October 2018, we consulted on proposals to introduce formal pedestrian signalised crossing arrangements at the junction of Dulwich Common and Lordship Lane.




We have now published our Consultation Report, which summarises how we sought comments and feedback on our proposals. We have also published our responses to the most common issues raised during the consultation.




In total, we received 274 responses to the consultation of which:




? 91 per cent supported or strongly supported the overall proposal to make changes to the pedestrian crossings and cycling facilities; and


? 3 per cent opposed or strongly opposed our proposal




We tentatively anticipate commencing the project early in 2020.




We are currently revisiting the design of the scheme to investigate the possibility of introducing a crossing at the southern arm of the junction.




We will inform local residents and stakeholders of any design changes before any construction takes place.




You can find our consultation report and responses to issues raised here: https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/a205-dulwich-common-lordship-lane/.




Yours faithfully
