Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Haringey Council decides to move forward with Filtering in Harringay!
After the 18-month long, £200,000 Green Lanes Area Transport Study, Haringey Council has decided to move forward with various improvement measures - including filtering - on Harringay Road!
The middle section of Harringay Road between Colina Road and Park Road, which currently carries over 6,000 vehicles per week (most of which is rat-running through traffic), will be filtered!
Haringey Council plans to change the road layout as shown above, such that it is still fully accessible by vehicles for residents and their deliveries etc., but is useless to the rat-runners; the through-traffic will therefore be “filtered out” so that only residential traffic (and cyclists), remain.
This is just one of many improvements in the Green Lanes area. The council's consultants have confirmed that once all the improvements are implemented, the traffic on Wightman Road, which currently carries over 114,000 vehicles per week, is expected to be around 114,000 vehicles per week.

Ah, I was about to say "this is useless tinkering, that road is already filtered, it's a waste of time and money, no drivers will be inconvenienced by this" when I read the last line. Well played sir.

Unfortunately not Tigha. After 18 months and £200K spent studying local traffic conditions - and at least ten years of local residents asking for something to be done about excessive traffic - the council is planning to do precisely nothing to reduce the 114,000 vehicles per week on Wightman Road.
