Aye, southbound between Balham and Bec stations feels safer in the road with the motor traffic.
I am not a huge fan of the island that’s been installed at the Ritherdon Road junction, either. Again, southbound seems more hazardous because all traffic is now in one lane - previously you could eyeball which cars might be making that sudden left turn!
I am a big fan of the temporary calming measures at Glenburnie Rd - which used to be the most dangerous stretch of my daily commute between SW17 and N19. Planters and plastic jersey barriers have calmed the rat run.

I’ve driven down it and from the car point of view it’s not perfect either.
If you are heading south from Clapham wanting to turn left a lot of left turns are blocked but the signage is too late then Ritherdon Road dosent look like anything you have ever seen before.
The bits where the cars have 1.5 lanes then 1 them 1.5 should be changed and to 1 lane all the way -
I’ve started avoiding that stretch now and going via Wandsworth common to South Wimbledon. There’s been a lot of unnecessary work on a bit which I always thought was quite safe , certainly compared to Bec to Broadway which remains a dangerous twatfest

Cs7, Tooting and about, is now peppered with bollards to separate bikes and cars. Not sure why if the boundary of the bike lane is the white line all these new bollards are placed inside the line thus narrowing the bike lane. I think I preferred it before the safety measures
