Should Central North London Get Traffic Calming Measures?
Official title: Central North London Traffic Study
Residents in Central North London have complained about speeding, cut-through traffic, and unsafe conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. The City hired a traffic consultant to study the area and recommend solutions like speed bumps, curb extensions, or better signage. They want your input before finalizing any plans.
Why This Matters
Live in Central North London? Walk your kids to school? Bike to work? This study could change how traffic moves through your neighbourhood. Speed bumps and curb extensions might slow things down—or they might just push traffic onto your street instead.
What Could Change
The City could install speed cushions, speed humps, curb extensions, or new signage throughout the neighbourhood. Streets near schools and parks may get priority treatment. A neighbourhood-wide traffic calming plan will be developed with specific recommendations for each problem area.
Key Issues
- What traffic calming measures should be installed?
- Which streets and intersections are the most dangerous?
- How can we protect pedestrians and cyclists near schools and parks?
- How do we balance safety with accessibility and mobility?
