The super highways for cyclists become congested, still experience bus & taxi fumes and shrink the road for all other users. Q1 gets you from deptford to waterloo or one of the bridges before that experiencing very little taxi and buses nor sitting at red lights for ages. Cycle routes should be designed so that the routes do not go from A to B as the crow flies but goes from A to B via C&D if it means you keep cycling and not stopping for lights or other users - and lo and behold you actually arrive with a quicker time and with half of the pollution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-65730577392143232602017-10-30T11:56:28.746+00:002017-10-30T11:56:28.746+00:00Bravo, Deptford Dame!

This plan seems to put more traffic through this supposedly residential street because it intensifies the rat runners. This area would be a much better cycle route than a car rat run.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-90408101746277475662017-10-14T15:56:51.166+00:002017-10-14T15:56:51.166+00:00Hard to see this as anything but a positive and so...Hard to see this as anything but a positive and something Lower Road has needed for some time.

I am glad to see there are finally some projects that are done well enough that we cannot complain much and cannot wait to see them finished. Maybe because it is TfL and not Council related.
