Traffic calming in and around Dulwich!

Hi everyone

I I think a lot of people will think the same about what I?m going to say.

The traffic in and around Dulwich at times it?s gridlock and schools aren?t even back yet.I?m all for traffic calming cutting down on pollution etc, i really don?t think that some of the road closures are really helping, in fact I?d say the opposite it only pushes extra traffic onto neighbouring roads and consequently pushes the problem somewhere else just the other day the traffic was queueing from the picture gallery right up to East Dulwich Road and down to lordship Lane and beyond.We are only talking early afternoon-it?s crazy!

While I was in the traffic jam two ambulances on emergency calls were completely stuck and seriously delayed!

I hope the council really does look at this problem seriously and intelligently!

Yes you are right. But the anti-car brigade take the simplistic view that if nobody drove then this wouldn?t be a problem. Just don?t drive at all under any circumstance and problem solved. Simple. (Or not, but there is no point pointing out why their view is oversimplified, they will just repeat themselves ad nauseum).

I agree of course - it's been much worst since the road closures were introduced, with a short calmer period around Christmas. Last weekend was a complete nightmare with stationary traffic most of the day on LL.

Dulwich labour councillors seem to be living in some sort of parallel universe - they don't listen to the residents' concerns and they simply don't care.

PS. Did you actually mean to title this thread 'Traffic NOT calming in and around Dulwich'?
