Wouldn't you need to re phase at the bottom of mussy hill as well to prevent to many cars running down park road or on to turnpike. The lights at the bottom of Belmont would need the same I'm guessing. The plan for there shows a no left turn on to west green so everything on Belmont will head towards Turnpike Lane and green lanes.

If there's no left turn from Belmont onto West Green Rd then the traffic that was heading down there to then turn towards Seven Sisters would instead have to actually use the A10 as it should be doing. Traffic turning right after screaming down there from the Roundway would be reduced if it is trying to get across the railway as all four plans limit traffic cutting around the back of the common to avoid the traffic lights. It would have to turn up towards Turnpike Lane or more likely, use Westbury Ave. If something was done with Westbury Ave then this traffic might just stay on the North Circular where it's supposed to be until it gets across the railway.

Yes, but it wil mean protecting the bottom end of langham road it's the same width as Wightman and is solid at rush hour. Will the budget stretch to closing that bit as well ?
Downhills would need something similar or another residential will be blighted. Blackboy could do with a bit of help as well.

Just looked at the map again,
Any way we could filter or close the B152? That would help black boy enormously and also calm traffic on harringay and Salisbury.

Excellent idea - perhaps we can start a campaign. Though since the council wouldn't even close Woodlands Park Road, which is not only 100% residential but has a nursery, it doesn't bode well for St Anns. Or Wightman.

Hi nick, actually it has a nursery, primary school and an old peoples home.

Green Lanes is choked all the time anyway, how can you get worse than this?
You mean the tailbacks would be longer? Yes, that's how the traffic evaporates, people realise that they're better off using the bus.

Of course it can get worse than this. It did during the closure of Wightman Road. And people aren't going to take to the bus if the bus is stuck in a jam.
