Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Electric bollard off St. Ann's (The Gardens) - what to do about constant break-down - people using as a rat-run
I am incredibly perturbed - not least as I have a slightly disabled cat with a limp after an accident and there are a lot of kids in the Gardens - about the fact the electorincally operated bollards at the top of Warwick Gardens are not working - constantly blocked down now and have been for some time. My road - Chesterfield Gardens is averaging about 5 cars per minute now (and only mid-pm) using it as a rat-run doing an average of about 30 miles per hour - how do we get the council to deal with this and fix??!! I almost preferred it when the bollards were constantly blocked up a few weeks ago and I had to drive around the top of the road and Green Lanes - at least safer!
Any thoughts other Garden residents? I'm the nearest road to the gates so getting very heavy and fast traffic usage and had to queue/continually pull in to side for nearly 5 mins to drive down my own road the other day with people coming up it in large cars and pretty fast...

That one should be easy for them to sort out with a one-way from the middle out. Our big rat-run around here, not so much.

One solution might be to allow a right turn into Salisbury road at Green Lanes, obviously making the road one way southbound until it joins St Anne's Road. Northbound traffic up St Annes could use the current one way system to access Green Lanes as normal. I'm sure there is probably something wrong with this idea which people will point out.

A massive queue of traffic wanting to turn right - creating an even more massive queue of traffic behind it towards the park?
yeah that'll be it.

It's all down to the timing of the lights, surely? It's an unfortunate fact that a lot of northbound traffic wants to find an easy way to get to Tottenham. Currently they have to go up to the next junction anyway at the Salisbury. There don't seem to be excessive traffic jams there because there are two clear lanes. Maybe the problem is the slow moving traffic on Green Lanes itself which causes everyone to seek a cut through. I can't see an answer to that though.
