<p>I see that, 3 months in, Google maps is still trying to send cars through non-permitted routes in this LTN which is obviously going to cause more congestion and funnel more traffic into the area. A good example of why these things need some time to bed in and you can't just make a decision based on the first few months.…</p>

<p>Dear me, the Oxford Dictionaries would not misspell 'whereby' as 'where by'. Nor 'thereby' as 'there by'. </p>
<p>Must try harder, 3/10. But thank you for the hint from the two smilies.</p>

<p>I have to say that I'm very sceptical about that being Oxford. It sounds more like FoxNews Dictionary to me.</p>

<p>I think everyone wants <span>a co-ordinated approach to traffic management across the whole Capital but let's be realistic, we're not going to get one at the moment. Politics is more polarised than ever, the government is pushing austerity and culture wars, "war on the motorist" is back, etc. What's the chances of getting Southwark, Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Kensington and Chelsea to agree an approach (and that's just to name a few)?</span></p>

<p><span>So, what do we do? Just wait and hope that the stars will align at some point? How do they "get a grip on Green Lanes" and also ensure that other residential streets don't take that overflow?</span></p>
<p><span>I don't know if LTNs are the answer or not but after years of years of Haringey's car is king policy I'm willing to support most interventions, look at the data and see what happens. We can't just keep putting it off.</span></p>

<p>I completely agree too Don. I believe we absolutely need to do something, I just don't believe LTNs are the something.</p>
<p>This last week has been really difficult what with the new LTN north of West Green Road starting, heavy rain and flooding and road works with temporary traffic lights. All of which has made getting to and from school/college/central London awful on both buses and the times I have to drive.

<p>Are you sure? If that's the Oxford Dictionary's definition then I have lost all respect for it. Since when was a dictionary meant to include the editor's highly subjective opinion on the subject matter of the word in question? </p>
