Looks like Haringey are starting to look at low traffic zones. Up until now they've been pretty shit at anything but prioritising motor traffic so it will be interesting to see where this goes.
One in Bounds Green which I know little about https://boundsgreenltnmap.commonplace.is/comments and two adjoining ones in St Ann's https://stannsltnmap.commonplace.is/comments and Bruce Grove/Tottenham https://tottenhambrucegroveltn.commonplace.is/comments which I'm more familiar with
Some prime rat-running routes (particularly in St. Ann's) so it will be interesting to see how this ends up.
Obviously also local concerns about how it will impact the areas outside the LTN. The Ladder area is concerned about how it will impact the already busy Wightman Road and the Duckett's Green area on the edge of the two schemes (circled in blue) will definitely suffer increased rat-running from displaced traffic. (Weirdly that area has been parcelled in to another possible future LTN with an area that it doesn't have any traffic links to.)
