Rivington st was regularly contravened by cycles before it was returned to two way. Including me. I consider the changes made there are a direct result of people ignoring stupid road planning designed to stop motoer rat running that also inhibits free flow of cycles. I expect Hackney LCC will have made representations to get the priorities changed there. @Oliver Schick? Perhaps I should contact Southwark Cyclists about Roupell St.
Yes, we got Rivington Street made two-way for cycling (with a contraflow) a while back. Roupell Street might have a similar treatment, but there is an issue there with residents' car parking, which you won't be able to shift, so the contraflow would have to work with this. Normally, there shouldn't be a problem with that, but it needs investigating. I don't know what typical driver behaviour is along there. The conservation area status might also throw up issues with cycle-specific signage or cycle symbols in the carriageway.
If something like this that should have happened hasn't happened despite being obvious for a long time, the local LCC group will usually be aware of what the specific constraints are there, so do get in touch with Southwark Cyclists.
