Roadworks,traffic lights,zebra crossing chaos East Dulwich Grove

[Huggers]

Is there a thread about this already? For one tiny bit of roadworks I can?t believe the chaos.

queues from lordship lane end to the lights by Townley road with the much quieter Townley road traffic given equal time to EDG on the green light -when only about about four Cars going through in that time, The queue to get through the roadworks made worse by a busy zebra crossing that should instead be on a coordinated pedestrian light. Traffic on green held up by zebra so few cars get through when it?s their turn.

Absolutely! I spent 15 minutes in the queue on Tuesday- can't find out anything from the council- or website- how long will it last? Anyone know?

I've just been told it's tfl, so will try them.

[dds29]

Me again.

Tried tfl- directed to 'London Works' filled in correct info- twice 'There was an error' AAArgh!

Please, please switch of engines in queuing traffic.

This road already has illegal levels of pollution from the traffic without the additional fumes from so many cars idling away sitting in the queue going nowhere.

Interestingly pollution can be worse inside the car, upto 3 times especially when sat in heavy traffic pulling in the fumes from the exhaust infront. Experts refer to it as ?sitting inside a toxic box? 🤢

There seems to roadworks on this stretch once a fortnight. Probably something to do with the Health Centre being built.

The roadworks have gone today so for now it?s fine. However, would reiterate what bels123 said above. If you are waiting in traffic for more than a few seconds, please do switch your engines off for your own sake and everyone else?s!
