The traffic lights have led to a significant rise in the number of vehicles using Scutari Road and then turning down Therapia, Mundania or Marmora roads on their way to Forest Hill Road. There is no traffic calming at the lower end of Scutari Road and drivers frequently drive along this road at well over 30-miles an hour, never mind staying withing the 20-mile speed limit.

And you don't WANT traffic calming on Scutari, do you.

Road bumps are a nightmare specially biker friendly ones as the cars then swerve to have their wheels drive either side of the bump in the middle of the road.

But traffic angering measures often follow excessive and unnecessary use of traffic lights at junctions when cars try to find alternative ways of getting from A to B.

Answer, a well signposted little roundabout with zebra crossings on all four roads supporting it. Little roundabouts at the east side of Rye Lane's roads (Consort, Copeland and Clayton) work fine. Traffic moves, and doesn't have to stop unnecessarily for red lights which in turn builds a traffic jam. Blah blah etc and so on!

Complete waste of time


These lights are bound to cause more accidents as 99% of people get tired of waiting to comply and walk through red lights in any event. The imbecile who thought it would be a good idea to add these lights needs to be shot.

    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
