Let us know how you think the highbury west scheme is doing as it beds in. Maybe we'll cross paths again canalside - would be good to understand any knock on impacts etc. Islington's St Peters LTN is still doing well as far as i can tell, and fewer anecdotes of reactionary anger five months in.
Carey-
I think it goes live in the new year, I've been watching the traffic on Mackenzie rd for a bit to get a feel for "normal", I'll speak up here on how it changes.
I hope that the spread in time of installation doesn't hamper the potential benefits due to the eto's expiring before the final implementations are bedded in.

Highbury West Scheme details has been published and it shows them cutting the route along Drayton park to cut the corner from Holloway Road to Seven Sisters. It's joined up with Highbury Fields to cut out through traffic from Balls Pond to North of The Arsenal Stadium.
Altogether that should lead to some significant re routing of traffic through Islington and Hackney to the East. It will be interesting to see the results, especially as I live just to the West of the schemes and therefore the knock on for traffic cutting through my part of the borough should be beneficial.
