d atraffic impact assement which concluded all everything woudl be OK. Or at least that was the statement about the traffic that i read in the local paper at the time. I don't go there in my car anymore and have not done for severeal years…
ll. otherwise, arena is almost the same as wood green high street. buses could have easily serviced all of arenas customers.
Have you been on the W5 that services sainsburys ? what a pity it is always empty due to the brain numbingly slow progress into/out of arena.
has anyone seen the fist fights between frustrated drivers ?
i notice that ten yellow jacketed staff are needed to police the traffic. apart from being next to useless in their job what is it costing to pay their wages per week and who is paying ? surely this money could be better spent.…

wear something to do besides unhelpfully re-arranging traffic cones), it's never full and no-one is losing out except Sainsbury's. If you have a problem with rubbish everywhere (and I certainly do) your time would be better spent picking up some of the mounds of detritus left in all the local parks by people who think the plastic wrapping on their supermarket 'picnics' magically disappears after they've left it behind. One sunny day and it's like the local tip exploded. Littering doesn't begin and end with people who live in caravans.…
ding-device keeps getting vandalised. The only solution is to close the area to traffic, other than emergency traffic. The streets could be grassed over and turned into parkland.
We do have a problem though, in that there are no routes east between Manor House and St Ann's Road. You can't just shut roads without planning for the consequences. If nobody looks at knock-on effects, you end up sitting in your car for hours in the car park of Sainsbury's.…
e used to address the traffic issues and long term masterplan for the site? It's great that is doing so well and is popular but is it sustainable in its current form? Could it be more of a mixed use site with housing as well as commercial and underground parking?…
ing down the hill, you can quite often stand waiting for the traffic to clear the crossing even when the green man is lit. The traffic doesn't stop.
It's not necessarily their fault. There comes a point where the drivers can no longer see any traffic signal. There's a blind spot. They can't see that the lights have changed and that the walk signal is showing.
Yesterday I saw a woman who wasn't particularly paying attention have to jump back as a car sped over the crossing. What with that and vehicles stopping across the crossing, including buses, you can wait quite a while to cross.
My partner brought this to the attention of TFL some months ago and they said they would look in to it. Of course, nothing has happened.
I hate to say this is an accident waiting to happen but... it is.…
stuck for 1hour. The Manager refused to do anything, too busy.
@SainsburysPR discussing service at Harringay 2day! Vicky the Manager needs to be sacked. Will not be wasting my money with you anymore!
@harringayonline the manager refused to help & threatened to sack the carpark guys if they left #sainsburys carpark! Running feud with HBase
Anyone else affected?

sets of lights should be operational by June and it is hoped will improve flow of traffic and relieve congestion out of Arena Trading Estate & Sainsbury's.
Additionally, the bus stop outside Homebase (on Green Lanes) is part of the problem and a discussion is going on to look at moving it up further towards Manor House so that it sits on the other side of the traffic lights from where it is now. So a move of about 45m only.
There is still confusion as to whether Finsbury Park Avenue is a private rd or 'adopted' (public). Further enquires with the Highways dept should clear that one up!…
nother 20K live or have business on one of the 20 rung roads. The rest - 150k+ individual journeys - are cut-through traffic.
In fact the ANPR data suggests the majority of these are completely through traffic - they are not going to Sainsburys or one of the grocers, jewelry shops or restaurants on Green Lanes, they are just passing through. They should probably be on the North Circ or Seven Sisters or some other arterial route, but the road layout of the Ladder is just a ratrunner's paradise.…
ic?
When did pavement parking start on Wightman and when did they put those traffic island things in?
I think the mess at Sainsburys and the pedestrian lights at Endymion Rd/Green Lanes was November 2007, certainly Hugh was moaning about it/alerting us to it on the 24th.…
