I rode down Railton Road with my kids the other day and it is a joy, no fumes, no speeding cars, no log jams.
Low Traffic Neighbourhoods may have some teething problems and some slightly sub optimal implementations, but they are part of the solution, not the problem.
I'd hope that, on here at least, we could get behind them.
Milkwood road was closed for three days, as the result of a long running safety campaign to improve the speed calming measures and install a safe crossing for school children. This follows at least two incidents of children being involved in RTCs and over ten incidents of speeding cars causing significant damage when colliding with parked cars.
There was a short diversion around the works, via Lowden or Fawnbrake. Herne Hill Road -> Herne Hill was another option that avoids Brixton.
Come on fella, you can do this!
