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..

I guess it's possible the phasing might be out and in need of reviewing but I think traffic light phasing is a pretty complex business and that a request to increase/decrease from a layperson will fall on deaf ears .


I'm not positive but think London Transport would be the appropriate body to approach .

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.
I reported it as dangerous on the TFL website when I noticed this problem before https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1535656,1536761#msg-1536761 (back in 2015, wow time flies). They did sort it out pretty quickly. Depressing that there is STILL no provision for pedestrians at that junction.

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

    • Can bet the Co Op is nearing its exit soon. At those prices you might as well buy at waitrose!
    • I dont get complaining if nothing is broken? If you dont like the parcel service just buy your products elsewhere which ship with a different company. simple fix🤷‍♀️
    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.
