Yeah driving in Walthamstow is pretty joyless, but I didn't move to London to enjoy driving a car.

Waltham Forest has done a lot of modal filtering schemes. Filtering itself is a good thing, although they have mostly done it badly (you shouldn't filter side streets at the main street junctions). I'm surprised that your sat nav doesn't have that data yet, as all the schemes have been in for some time.

no idea how to reply to your post and link what you said but to paraphrase, you said driving round walthamstow is awful, with closures to rat runs and traffic calming being put in.
Isn't it a bit ironic that you are on a cycling forum complaining about a borough that is promoting cycling and installing measures to encourage more people to get out of their cars and cycle? are you lost mate?
i see from your previous posts you live in leytonstone...this makes sense. i'm not sure why everyone living in leytonstone moans about walthamstow, it's like they have a complex being the poorer relations. i guess its good for bombing up and down the highstreet in your car with all the other boy racers/drug dealers.
you should stick to cycling and not driving...i would recommend it

I don't often go to Walthamstow but I had to drive there yesterday. It was horrific. Box junctions everywhere, appalling and aggressive driving by pretty much everyone, including bus drivers, roads blocked off/dead ends everywhere. The sat nav was having a fit with the route as all the suggested routes were scuppered by no through roads and presumably newly installed dead ends.
It would do my head in to deal with all that regularly.
