<p>I am interested in those Cycle Super Highway thingies although massively less expensive would be to filter Wightman Road to create 1 mile of safe cycling (and another 7-8 miles of cycle-safe Ladder rung roads to access it).</p>
<p>Curious to know how you could widen the Passage - compulsory purchase and then demolition of the abutting houses?</p>

<p>They always lie. I have stopped so many over the years and they know the law very well when they think they're in the right: "The sign was knocked down!". The 7.5t HGV sign outside Dogtas by the common never lasts very long when it gets put back up.</p>

So your not interested in one of those really expensive Cycle Super Highway thingies then??<br />
Who said the road had to be for cars? Mind you, widening the passage to a two way CSH would work as well and (if enough cyclists used it) you'd flatten the dogs (and their walkers) who decorate it every morning.<br />
Win win .

<p>Traffic is not only cars. Ask an HGV why he is using 7.5 T Wightman and he will say that the GPS told him to go that way.</p>

<p>Please get with the program gents. Building new roads does not decrease traffic. "A new road may provide motorists with some level of respite from congestion in the short term, but <a href="http://www.citymetric.com/transport/does-building-more-roads-create-more-traffic-934" target="_blank">almost all of the benefit from the road will be lost</a> due to increased demand in the longer term".</p>

<p>If you mean the faint line of lights running through the middle (or so) of the Ladder - that's Harringay Passage I think. The New River is blackness itself in the picture.</p>
<p>Whole new can of worms, that suggestion..... reminds me of the late-80s Department for Transport proposal to turn the Barking - Gospel Oak railway line into a high-level road. I might still have the press cuttings.</p>
