Alexx Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Might have been discussed before but does anyone know if there is a reason why East Dulwich Road (the narrow bit behind Goose Green) hasn't been made one way only? The majority of the time it is fine but when you get more than 3 or 4 cars trying to pass each other you get a real block, which involves having to mount the pavement/swear at each other to get past. I'm not normally for making roads one way but it doesn't seem sensible as it is right now and the number of times you see a string of blocked cars having to include most of the pavement into the road is a pain for everyone.

Earl Aelfheah Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It's a fair point actually. I'm not sure why it's two-way. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/115337-passing-cars-on-east-dulwich-road/#findComment-1025304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunhead_man Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Making it one way will make it a race track and cars will use it as a way to avoid the queues Change it at you peril local residents!Much better to put in bollards in the middle to allow cyclists through and stop rat running Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/115337-passing-cars-on-east-dulwich-road/#findComment-1025308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirac Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 nunhead_man has a the point there. It's already a cut through for the mopeds doing 10000mph; don't need to add cars to that I guess...

Guest Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It already is a race track. Quite often you see cars speeding through there. There's going to be an accident soon.

Or, cartographically, how about Pearsall Road after Phyllis Pearsall, the creator of the A-Z, who was born in Court Lane Gardens?

Robert Poste's Child Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 How about just Goose Green? That would be a nice address for the flats on that side. Or St John's Road, after the church.
