Came past there at about 8.40, one ambulance, one ambulance car, a police car and a lady in what I think was a silver fiesta. No bike or rider, so wasnt sure what it was about.
This is a confused junction, as you come into the one way system FROM the university, it splits into 4 lanes, 2 go off toward New Cross and 2 toward the Cutty Sark, when you then get to the next stage, 2 lanes split back toward the university/Cutty Sark and 2 toward Deptford.
2 lanes shrinks into 1, right next to a pedestrian crossing and the whole thing is blocked with cars/buses and pedestrians seem to walk between the slow moving or stopped traffic.
Its a fkin nightmare, because vision is poor and the blocked road makes it a pain to get around, I always go outside of the traffic at this point as its easier to get around and I feel safer, have also put a horn on my bike as got fed up with people walking out in front of me and paying no attention, it works a treat.
Hope the rider is ok.
