Passing cars on East Dulwich Road

[Alexx]

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.

It's a fair point actually. I'm not sure why it's two-way.

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

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...

It already is a race track. Quite often you see cars speeding through there. There's going to be an accident soon.

Why is that bit called East Dulwich Road? Isn't the main road also ED Road too?

Yeah, it's a bit confusing. Let's change it. Any suggestions?

West East Dulwich Road should clear things up nicely. Or, cartographically, how about Pearsall Road after Phyllis Pearsall, the creator of the A-Z, who was born in Court Lane Gardens?

[Alan Medic]

More of a lane than a road Road?

[northdulmum]

Phyllis Lane sounds kinda cool

[Robert Poste's Child]

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.
