Noticed that Falkland & Frobisher Rds have traffic counters installed by Traffic Survey Partners http://www.trafficsurveypartners.co.uk/

Justin is it just the Traffic Study that's delayed, or the second round of data collection too while Wightman Rd is closed for the bridge works? Vital info for future traffic planning e.g. Wightman-no-through Rd.....

As far as I am aware the two are being treated as separate (thought there is an obvious link). Not sure when the second round of data collection is planned for, we can find out at the meeting in 2 weeks.

The one thing that was funny was it was mentioned that apparently they are only collecting/using a weeks worth of data when the counters were down for 3 weeks at least...

Thanks Justin.  Umm, yes - selective sampling - hope not.

Related to this: in neighbouring Hackney (at least the western half) there's a traffic survey now, particularly Green Lanes, Lordship Road, Amhurst Road. The frequency of the counter sites and their absence on the 30 mph A10 indicates they are primarily a speed survey now that Hackney is nearly all 20 mph and has been for some months. 

Expect something similar in Haringey in several months time as part of the 20 mph project which goes live this month (though today's Haringey People's article gives no actual start date).

How are all the rat runners going to cope with 20 mph on my Ladder road. Oh wait...

Ha. I just saw an Iceland delivery van hoon down Pemberton like the guy was auditioning for the next Dukes of Hazard movie!

Have the meters all been collected, I still see the rubber chords on the roads, but no meter. Maybe the scrap man's getting bold.

No, the council told me they will come get the rubber hoses later... Though the meters do apparently get nicked.

ONE decade beyond the 2016 traffic survey, all the council's CurrentCrew can countenance are chats, surveys, dismissals, consultations and hand-wringing.

Meanwhile, a next-door council seem to have the right idea, with actual action:

Ham&High: Camden High Street's pedestrianisation

Haringey's CurrentCrew can deliver no change due to chronic and deep-seated beliefs:

  • Zero strategy
  • Pro-car culture
  • über-conservative
  • Nothing to be done
  • Bureaucratic sclerosis
  • Leave it to the experts
  • Susceptibility to lobbying
  • Highwaymen jobsworths
  • Transport Cab Member place-holding

The view from the HQ council bunker of the island Borough, on the threat from sustainable transport action ~

We shall go on to the end.

We shall fight in Harringay, we shall fight from Highgate to Northumberland Park, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the Cabinet, we shall defend our pavement-parking, whatever the cost may be.

We shall fight on the borders, we shall fight in the intersections, we shall fight on the B-roads and in the High Streets, we shall fight on the carriageways; we shall never surrender.
