<p>No to your first question, I meant from the railway bridge towards St Ann's Rd.</p>
<p>To your second, the inner lane southbound <span>is</span> a bus lane but only currently Mon-Fri 0700-1000 and is CCTV monitored, marked by a solid white line. The (nearly) middle of the road has a broken line to separate the opposing traffic flow. I don't recall any suggestion to extend the bus lane hours which I guess is what you mean.

<p>PS Does anyone else find Seven Sisters Rd between Finsbury Park and Manor House disconcerting - there's no such broken line in the middle there. I know that there has beens work on removing road markings thus making road users more cautious through villages, but there??</p> Even if they can't fit in a b…tag:harringayonline.com,2016-03-06:844301:Comment:8461382016-03-06T18:39:55.819ZAntoinettehttps://harringayonline.com/profile/AntoinetteVCarter
Even if they can't fit in a bus lane I still think they should suspend parking on Green Lanes to allow more free movement...If only to stop the twats who come out of parking spaces and attempt 3 point turns...

<p>Thanks Gordon. Sorry when you say northbound you mean towards Homebase/Manor House? So the current bus lane (direction towards Manor House) isnt an actual bus lane?</p>

<p>That was asked at the first meeting - answer was the northbound side of the road isn't wide enough to fit in a bus lane and another lane for other traffic.</p>
<p>(The white line towards the middle of the road is actually off-centre, can be seen from a train over the railway bridge).</p>

<p>Does anyone know whether they will allow parking on Green Lanes during the closure of Wightman Road? You'd hope they try to keep the road as clear as possible esp for buses which could then use the bus lane towards Manor House.</p>

<p>At the very least they could severely reduce the phase that allow traffic to turn right into Wightman Rd from Crouch End and allow more from Turnpike Lane towards Crouch End.</p>

<p>Yes I'll be in that category. Learning from the recent roadworks at the Sainsbury's junction. It was reduced to one lane northbound Fri 12th - Mon 15th. The northbound queue tailed back to Clissold Park Friday afternoon, 30 mins from there to Endymion Rd. Also, from Manor House tube Sat & Sun it was much quicker for me to walk home than get the bus down Green Lanes.</p>

<p>It's going to be interesting to see what comes out of the traffic monitors around the area - for example, usually if you take away road capacity you do get a reduction in car journeys - e.g. people walking or taking public transport for example. </p>

The info there is that the line will be closed entirely 7 days a week from June to Sept 2016 between S Tottenham and Barking. From Sept 2016 to Feb 2017 the entire line Gospel Oak to Barking will be closed.
