Box junctions on Green Lanes
I haven't noticed this on here, although I may just be searching for the wrong thing.
Looks like there are plans to put box junctions on Green Lanes where the ladder roads meet it in order to remove some of the congestion.
Could help (although I still think removing the parked cars should be the first option).

I'm not sure what the point is - there are fewer cars coming in and out of Ladder roads now than before when they were through routes. Box junctions will further slow down the flow on Green Lanes.

Yes, I saw that on the original proposal but it doesn't seem to have materialised. I think it can have some benefits on one road, Pemberton. Traffic is still coming up Warham from Salisbury, finding nowhere to go and then heading back to Green Lanes via Pemberton.

The signs directing traffic away from the ladder are very coy. "Access to 299-361 & 278 - 260 Wightman Rd" visible once they're already in the street should really be "No access to Crouch End & Wood Green".

I assumed it was a long term proposal rather than linked to the bridge. The signs are on the lampposts near the junctions with the planning proposal.

I guess box junctions at the bottom of Ladder Roads would protect pedestrians from drivers pushing out onto Green Lanes and significantly slow down exit and so cut the 'short cut' benefit of using those Ladder roads. On the down side I can see myself having to drive several blocks of Green Lanes to turn up my road!!

Now that camera cars can't be used to issue PCN for most parking contraventions councils need to find new revenue streams. Putting in box junctions (and fixed cctv) - which people enter before their exit is clear (and then get stuck stationary in the box - when not turning right) which is of course how traffic generally behaves in London otherwise one car crossing the box at once would be ridiculously slow progress - are a fantastic earner.
TfL have a video about how you are meant to approach box junctions - it shows very little traffic for a London street
