My tuppence worth: Get rid of ALL cut through traffic in Walthamstow. The only through routes should be Forest Road, Blackhorse Lane, Lea Bridge Road, Markhouse Road, Wood Street and Hoe Street, with the exception of buses like the W12. Everywhere else should be like Coppermill is now, one way in and the same way out for cars.
Also Councillor Loakes bring back Waltham Forest bike recycling centre to Low Hall Lane, not the Bikeworks one you have set up right at the south of the borough. Why should residents/helpers travel to the southern edge of the borough to give their free time, put it back in the centre of WF where it was, so equal access to all, oh and re-employ Colin and Chris. All them bikes we made and sold cheaply. This borough has all the fresh air in London with the marshes and the forest on its borders so is perfect for cyclists.
My other bug bear is speed humps, build them RIGHT across the road, not just a square block that car drivers take up the middle of the road to not effect their suspension. Which means us cyclists get cut up or have to give way to stay safe.
Err yes I do live here and have done for the last 20 years before you askThe issue here is with emergency vehicles. They don't react well to speed bumps at full pelt.
