It doesn't work quite that way Antoinette. Councils submit schemes for TfL funding and this is agreed in principle so that the money can be built into the budgets of both TfL and the local authority. The detailed plans are then worked up in the financial year the money has been allocated and, if TfL are happy that it meets the criteria they set for the outline bid, the money is released. I worked alongside the transport planning team in a local authority for several years and this was real bread and butter stuff. Unless the detailed schedule is way off the money is always released.

I don't suppose we could gradually reduce the right hand turn phase from Crouch End into Wightman until it's the same length as the right turn into Green Lanes from Turnpike Lane as a start could we? #mitigating

Wouldn't you need to re phase at the bottom of mussy hill as well to prevent to many cars running down park road or on to turnpike. The lights at the bottom of Belmont would need the same I'm guessing. The plan for there shows a no left turn on to west green so everything on Belmont will head towards Turnpike Lane and green lanes.

If there's no left turn from Belmont onto West Green Rd then the traffic that was heading down there to then turn towards Seven Sisters would instead have to actually use the A10 as it should be doing. Traffic turning right after screaming down there from the Roundway would be reduced if it is trying to get across the railway as all four plans limit traffic cutting around the back of the common to avoid the traffic lights. It would have to turn up towards Turnpike Lane or more likely, use Westbury Ave. If something was done with Westbury Ave then this traffic might just stay on the North Circular where it's supposed to be until it gets across the railway.

Yes, but it wil mean protecting the bottom end of langham road it's the same width as Wightman and is solid at rush hour. Will the budget stretch to closing that bit as well ?
Downhills would need something similar or another residential will be blighted. Blackboy could do with a bit of help as well.

Just looked at the map again,
Any way we could filter or close the B152? That would help black boy enormously and also calm traffic on harringay and Salisbury.

Excellent idea - perhaps we can start a campaign. Though since the council wouldn't even close Woodlands Park Road, which is not only 100% residential but has a nursery, it doesn't bode well for St Anns. Or Wightman.

Hi nick, actually it has a nursery, primary school and an old peoples home.

Green Lanes is choked all the time anyway, how can you get worse than this?
You mean the tailbacks would be longer? Yes, that's how the traffic evaporates, people realise that they're better off using the bus.
