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

funnily enough i had two bikes in the back of the car whilst i was trying to navigate through the streets of baghdad, sorry , walthamstow, one of which i had just collected from the bike shack in leyton after being repaired, and the other one i was on my way to drop off at a bike shop on forest road to be repaired.
still, i note that from the following link Walthamstow is rated as the second worst place for crap driving https://www.guardian-series.co.uk/news/14325901.e17-named-second-worst-postcode-london-dangerous-drivers/
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.
