Oh yeah - didn't see that as I came out of Woodvale and walked my bike across the road. Bit odd to have a no right turn sign as it's impossible to do a right turn without going over the central reservation anyway! But the no U-turn sign by the first gap which is on your picture definitely wasn't there today. It must surely have been pinched or something, they can't seriously have decided U turns there are now permissible.

I can't really see why people shouldn't be able to do with the 363s do and turn along Underhill Road to make it easier to get back to Woodvale from the Forest Hill direction. It wasn't quite so bad when Melford was still two way but it's a long detour to get there.

Melford Road is better as one way, but they need to allow cars to turn right into Underhill Road - it's a nightmare if you are trying to get back towards Forest Hill Road from Sydenham, traffic is so heavy - if you go down Sydenham Rise the traffic can be backed up right to Sydenham Hill, if you go down Sydenham Hill you are forced to add to the huge weight of traffic going down Lordship Lane, all the way to Overhill Road.


This is one crazy bit of Road Traffic Management.


James, if you are going to get that No U Turn sign put back, maybe you can get the one lower down taken way whilst you are at it, to ease some of the awful congestion, and let people turn right into Underhill Road.


Thanks.

I think the right-turn into Underhill Road is potentially very dangerous. I could see it potentially backing traffic further back up the hill, and turning through traffic across the bus-lane is a recipe for accidents. These small side roads are not made for volume of traffic.

Hi Bobbsy


Last few times I have come back down Sydenham Hill I can't turn right to go down to the South Circular as cars

are backed right up to the junction trying to get through the lights at the bottom and on to the South Circular.

It's impossible.


So instead I go down, left onto South Circular, then have to go all the way to Upland Road before I can turn right.

Adding to the weight of traffic.


There needs to be an allowed right turn before that, if need be they should put in a proper turning with lights or something.


It's madness trying to get down and across the South Circular if you want to get over towards Nunhead.


Thanks James (not) for sorting out that No Right Turn sign.


Sigh.

    • Most women are killed by someone they know, not a stranger. However I think all women moderate their behaviour when on their own, walking at night especially as they fear danger.Two interesting articles https://www.statista.com/statistics/288298/female-victims-of-homicide-england-and-wales-by-relationship-to-offender/?srsltid=AfmBOoqZ9-CIEJWe9kesKy2G_KWxjXPh-tXMRsLvKim0M6mS00dksiKH https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/sep/23/majority-of-girls-and-young-women-in-uk-alter-behaviour-to-feel-safe-study-finds?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other   Other crimes https://crimerate.co.uk/london personally I always go for the most crowded train carriage late evening and I carry my keys in my hand when walking from the train station…. It’s that fear of violence that is scary …
    • What ever they decide I would have thought that the skate park would not be staying but really hope I am wrong as in my minds eye, I see the skate park as potential parking spaces after all if it is going to be community, flats, retail units, cafe, etc folks are going to want to have the parking availability - Amir like the parade of shops opposite. if the skate park goes then I think it is Dulwich Estate obligation to find another suitable area… a lot of community spirit and hard work went into developing the skate park and the youngsters should be very proud of what they have done  and achieved. 
    • Hi all My car was stolen between 1.30pm-1.50pm today in SE22 East Dulwich in South East London. I have of course reported this to the police but not much is being done, so I thought I'd give this a shot. The registration is GM66YOV, though its possible the licence plate may have been changed by now. If you see it anywhere please contact me or the police. Thankyou!
    • Years ago, got my ears pierced, alcohol on site, gun ..done.. Simple.. Gosh, surely your daughter of mothers can recommend  - do you really need to post on forum? Or maybe you home school whatever.. still recovering from shock, posted along the lines of, advice needed about adopting/ buying a dog…. Guess I am now at a age, where I should just keep quiet and pass no comment and read  postings like a “soap” - cheaper than tv licence…
