Harringay online

Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

We had a leaflet from haringey today saying that the decision to reverse the traffic flow had been shelved and instead a no right turn would be put in place, along with penalty cameras.
I think it is a shame that the reverse traffic flow has been halted as I think that would have genuinely helped with our problems on Hewit but I wondered what anyone else thought. There is a chance to respond about this decision to the council.

I wonder if HOL will campaign so vehemently when Beresford Road will take all the volume, I doubt it somehow.
Why do you think that? Also saw a notice on Burgoyne that road works will be going on for ages and that at the end of them the road will be two way.

what! burgoyne will be two way? i never heard about that! (sorry to go off topic!)

There was a notice at the Wightman end I saw yesterday, by the car repair place behind the hotel

Thanks for that, will go and investigate as I am not so keen on such an idea!

Although it is the only ladder road capable of taking two-way traffic.

Weren't all the Ladder roads two way before the change to being one-way (which was only around a decade ago?) so all must be capable of it?

As Ant says, they were all two way originally and there are thousands of two way rounds around the country as narrow as the narrowest of the ladder roads, so they are indeed all capable of it. Personally I'd like to see them all 2 way again and avoid all the extra traffic of people looping round two roads to park or to drive off in the opposite direction. It seems to me that one way systems that were installed so feverishly around the Country are increasingly discredited these days as more and more are reverted to 2 way. Anyway, better not go back to that discussion!

Though it is unclear and badly written, looking at the notice below I'm pretty sure it means that it's 2-way just for the period that the bottom is closed off.

This is the notice on Burgoyne:Its not terribly clear what "2-WAY TRAFFIC OPERATION." really means, and its a Thames Water notice not an official council notice which i would have thought would be necessary for a permanent change like that.

Presumably this two way operation sign refers to temporary traffic lights, not direction of travel?

Thames Water are digging on Umfreville at the moment, and have suspended parking at the top end of the road. If they really close Burgoyne Road completely for 6 weeks, there's going to be chaos. It would be good to find out what's happening.

That's a bit unfair Birdy - there was a huge amount of discussion on here about the consequences of what was being suggested for Hewit and a lot of it focused on the impact it would have on other roads, especially Beresford and Pemberton. As I remember the balance of opinion was against the Hewit proposals rather than for.
