Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Dealing with Traffic Crouch End Style
More details on traffic management offered by the Liveable Crouch End project have recently been made public by the Council.
A proposed trial will mean the following changes to roads in Crouch End and Hornsey:
- A bus/cycle only gate on Middle Lane, at its northern end with Priory Road / Hornsey High Street - operating between 7am and 7pm
- Hillfield Ave closed at its junction with High Street - operating 24 hours a day
- Birkbeck Road just south of St Mary’s Road - closed 24 hours a day
- Weston Park will be closed 24 hours a day with a small public area where it meets the Broadway
- Middle Lane will be closed 24 hours a day with a public area at its southern end, near Park Road.
See the Crouch End Closures Trial page on Haringey's website for more details.
Crouch End councillors have organised a meeting to look more closely at the proposals.
Put away any envy you may feel at traffic management with teeth and following this development may give pointers for what could be possible in Harringay.
Try as I may, it's difficult to avoid musing over the hundreds of thousands of pounds spent on a Harringay traffic survey for such little result and comparing that to what's happening in the areas to the west of Harringay and to its east. One is getting, and the other is investigating the sort of traffic management of which, it seems, we can only ever dream.

There is a theory that if the A-roads become busy enough then motorists will travel by bus or train or e-bike, or drive via some other route - the North Circular or the M25 perhaps. This reduction in traffic is referred to as evaporation - rather as the demise of the Wicked Witch of the West was referred to as melting
But perhaps the reduction in traffic will not be entirely fictional.

It's perhaps a misnomer to call this "Crouch End Style" as the design and proposals all come from, and meet the criteria of, TfL and the Mayor. Crouch End input so far has been quite limited. The consultation is, after all, being run by Haringey appointed consultants.
