<p>Chicane gates (as in Woodlands Park, for example) sound like a good idea but there are lots of other pesky large vehicles – dustcarts, Ocado and John Lewis vans, Dial-a-Ride buses, BT, Yodel deliveries, builders doing loft conversions, Virgin media vans, even fire engines and ambulances, etc – that need regular or periodic access, so would it work in practice? Would, say, Falkland/Frobisher and Umfreville/Burgoyne have to be designated as official routes in and out for larger (non-HGV)…</p>

And can long vehicles turn the corners into or out of Wightman, which look pretty sharp and narrow to me? Here in Glenwood we get all the weekly Tuesday/Wednesday dustcarts, plus the Jewsons' lorries, builders' white vans and general deliveries, etc, that need access to Woodlands Park for that very reason, but the road's a bit wider and there aren't the Harringay Heights to climb. </p> Wightman is still a no throug…tag:harringayonline.com,2016-09-02:844301:Comment:9143302016-09-02T17:11:42.342ZJoeWhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/joew
<p>Wightman is still a no through road. Neither the bridgeworks nor the National grid resurfacing is complete, I think they have run out of tarmac. In fact I think the concrete blocks may have only been put aside to make tarmac deliveries easier plus allow access for the big resurfacing machines.</p>

<p>Curious, this. Signs for what - 7.5 tonne max weight? 20 mph limit?</p>
<p>When the blanket 20mph limit was activated I emailed council officials: would there be repeater signs on Wightman Road to match the proliferation everywhere else. I was told no, the Wightman Road 20 mph zone with signs either end and humps between satisfied the regulations. Now perhaps they don't, it seems. <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Tongue.gif"></img></p>

<p>Alex, we've been hearing promises of "<em>monitoring and enforcement</em>" for the past decade or more. Words! But the words I objected to above were "<strong>discouraging inappropriate</strong> use" when we should expect "<em>stopping illegal</em> use". Once upon a time the KoberKabinet had a Member for Environment & <em><strong>Enforcement</strong></em>. Now enforcement is almost a no-no word, being just Afterthought No.7 in Peray Ahmet's portfolio of pastimes. Next year we will have…</p>

<p>Paul, on Wightman Road we say "<em>must have known</em>". If you cast your mind back over 30 years, you may recall that Wightman Road in the 1980-86 era was nothing like 2010-2016 for heavy traffic, rat run drivers and the pollution they cause us.</p>

I'm absolutely ecstatic on the opening of Wightman road ,I know that I am going to get aloof negativity from this but so one has to say it.<br />
I've lived in the area for over 30 yrs and the last few months since the closure have made my traveling to shop on green road pure hell.<br />
I do feel for the residents of Wightman road ,but would like to point out that they must of known that the road was a busy one when they moved in there .
