Some clothes were still in the middle of the road in front of the bus stop on West Green at 6pm. David Schmitz has been saying that something like this will happen at the next bus stop down for years. I know myself from walking across the common and seeing that a bus was coming how tempting it is to go straight across the road and risk the traffic rather than the 120m dash using the crossing.
The company doing the design work on Green Lanes had a proposal to re-engineer the way West Green Road comes out onto Green Lanes here but nothing came of it.

Poor boy and his family.
I suppose that accounts for the nearly 2 hour traffic jam on Falkland Road.
I agree John, there are a few areas at the top of the ladder/Turnpike Lane/WG Road area which are obviously potentially dangerous - especially to children.

Bad time of year too with the afternoon gloom. It will only get worse with daylight savings finishing in a couple of weeks.

Thoughts go out to the family and hopefully the boy will pull through and make a full recovered. The traffic on that road is far too fast - cars speed up on the stretch (a bit like the horrid stretch under the Hornsey Railway bridge). We fought a long battle with the council over the fear of walking along the road under the bridge before moving on to the Ladder, but were told that as nobody had been killed....

CharlotteF - Haringey Cycling Campaign have been in discussion with Haringey Council about measures to calm traffic under the railway bridge.. and to try and stop people 'left hooking' cyclists (swinging round the left turn at speed into Tottenham Lane - often too fast to then stop at the zebra crossing)
We've put our views and ideas forward, such as making the corner tighter to avoid the fast turn, and also putting in an advisory cycle lane, which would make the road appear not so wide too.
Anyway - back to the topic. So it wasn't a bus then? a PCSO standing guard on the police tape line told me a boy had been hit by a bus, then made some comment about it being the 'second similar incident on Green Lanes today'...
