Turning right from East Dulwich Grove onto Forest Hill Rd


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?

If people knew how to drive they would realise that you are allowed into the yellow box to turn right. You could probably get four or five  cars out beyond the white line before the first car overshot the turn. All of them could keep going right after the light has turned red if they are beyond the white line before it changes.

That would speed the traffic flows and make a big difference there.

People don't know how to drive though.

Clearly the solution is to add a second southbound lane to Peckham Rye. And a northbound lane too. Practically no-one walks along that strip of grass anyway. In fact, if the council were a bit more ambitious, the whole park could be converted into a high speed roundabout like Elephant and Castle 👍

At the risk of appearing pedantic, Elephant & Castle isn’t a roundabout.

It may just be my phone showing something weird, but isn't the original post on this from 16 years ago?

There's been a filter in place for years

Interesting point and true 

But there does appear to be a need to make changes to the junction coming from the Nunhead direction where traffic comes across in the middle of the road and often has to circumnavigate cars turning right from East Dulwich Road towards Forest Hill 

 

Why they can't make the center lane (from the Nunhead direction) right turn for buses and cycles only is beyond me.

What is needed is a camera to fine all the drivers jumping the lights as they drive from Nunhead to East Dulwich.  I've often had to wait at those lights to turn right only to find four or five vehicles jumping across my path on the orange and red lights.

    • I was amazed to see a young nuthatch crawling headfirst down a the trunk of a tree in my garden to bully the great tits and blue tits off the bird feeders yesterday.  Didn't expect to see one this far from the woods.
    • some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc  
    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
