Stoke Newington Church St is absolutely buzzing. I’m surprised to see so many people managed to get here. I mean, with the daytime restriction on through traffic and all the LTNs around 😂

Clissold Road ‘School Street’ is getting enforcement cameras on Sep 22nd. Once the cameras are installed, they will begin issuing warning notices for the first two weeks and then penalty charge notices will be issued.

@Hayleywhite16g1 Cities that expanded roads to try and tackle congestion discovered it didn’t help because you get more people using the roads when there’s more road to use (‘induced demand’). The reverse is also true: Less roads/access = less people using them.

@Hayleywhite16g1 Parking spaces are available in backstreets, not main roads, so it’s only expected there’ll be higher car ownership there. Again, backstreets are very diverse, as are some boundary roads and the issue being tackled is car usage, for short journeys, first and foremost.

@Hayleywhite16g1 Delayed transport won’t change if traffic calming measures weren’t in place because there are too many cars on the roads, with a third of car journeys in London very short at 2 miles or less. Car usage has to go down, and traffic calming interventions are the best way to do that.

@Hayleywhite16g1 With a 3rd of car journeys in London being 2 miles or less, the real issue is car usage, not car ownership. We should aim to reduce car ownership but traffic calming measures are targeting primarily the many short car journeys people make when it’s easy to drive around.

@Hayleywhite16g1 More than 50+ of social housing in Hackney are in LTNs and in boundary roads like Lordship Park and Manor Road you also find £2m houses. Again, streets whether back streets or ‘boundary roads’ are more diverse than you may think.

@Hayleywhite16g1 “everyone else’s” - what does that actually mean? Who is “everyone else”? Hackney streets are very diverse and mixed. The leafy, quiet back street with expensive extensions also have social housing, elderly couples who’ve lived there for decades, house shares and so on.

@kevlarflex Thanks. I’ll try to find it. Any idea what the impact in terms of the difference? Is the issue you described considered significant enough to skew the results in a fundamental way? Thanks.

@kevlarflex Mildmay LTN next year with a southbound Bus Gate in Boleyn Road will reduce the southbound traffic in Matthias Rd significantly as it becomes local traffic to Pellerin Road, Matthias Rd, Cowper Rd, Bennett Rd and a bit of Boleyn Rd.

@Hayleywhite16g1 “Stoke newington LTNS drivers have the biggest motors ever” - Is that based on official data or is a personal view? :) LTNs now cover half of Stoke Newington. No such thing as “LTN drivers” because they cover very mixed streets and households. Most SN housing estates are in LTNs.

Turnover of shops in Church St, where since 1890 50% of the businesses have changed during each decade, has been the lowest it has been in recent years and that’s with the Cost of Living Crisis since late 2021. Current commercial vacancy rate in Church St is extremely low at 3%.

There are also two nurseries in Defoe Rd which use Church St daily to get to Clissold and Abney Parks, and also a secondary school in Clissold Rd close to Church St. There’s a variety of residential properties in Church St from many flats above shops, houses and Kennaway Estate.

@thenewlove Worth keeping in mind the introduction of the Stoke Newington LTN coincided with the Cost of Living Crisis in late 2021. Relevant context when discussing shopping and spending patterns in the last two years.

@jwestjourno Hackney Den was a gay venue and before that it was a games bar (Loading Bar), so there have been attempts to use it for something other than a typical pub. There was issue with drug use before all that and it closed. Feels cursed or just unlucky.

@jwestjourno It’s between the buzz of Dalston and Stoke Newington High St. There’s footfall as it’s in a main road, but the location feels to me a bit “middle of nowhere” for a pub given its surroundings. I don’t think a gastro pub will work there. A football boozer? Not sure. Thoughts?

@trafficcone36 @PauloCampbell Do you have a better idea how to reduce car usage in order to improve air quality and road safety? Restricting through traffic and making driving more difficult is an ‘easy’ intervention compared to the alternatives.

@trafficcone36 @PauloCampbell A third of car journeys in London are 2miles or less. LTNs are designed to deter such journeys, which end up on main roads like Green Lanes at the moment. As more and more people realise it’s not worth the hassle for a short journey, Green Lanes will have less traffic.

@trafficcone36 @PauloCampbell The data tells a different story. Not to belittle a 7.5% increase but it’s certainly not 30% as you claim without basis purely based on personal, subjective observation. Decisions are made using data, not subjective opinion.

@trafficcone36 @PauloCampbell Which part of Green Lanes by the way if you don’t mind sharing. I’m often in the section between Newington Green and Manor House and rarely see any congestion. Gets busier during rush hour as expected, but not the gridlock you’re describing. When and where exactly?

@trafficcone36 @PauloCampbell Green Lane was always a main road with considerable traffic. It’s an A Road (A105), like Stoke Newington Road for example. A-Roads are classed as major roads that link regional towns and cities. How much quieter was it really before 20th of September 2020?

@kosintime A taxi journey is long enough for the driver to plan it so they enter the street from the side that’s open to traffic. It may not even mean any significant increase in journey time, depending where it starts. In my experience, difference in duration and cost is often very small.

@kosintime @neilofharringay @DalstonLtn 20mph speed limit was only introduced early this year and there are no cameras so he must mean Stoke Newington Road, which the wider, 2-way section between West Hackney Church and Crossway.

@kosintime If you start making exceptions based on “I need my car for work” you’ll find yourself drowning in requests from pretty much everyone. Some people will have a very clear case but many others will try to claim they “must” drive for their work. I don’t think it’s practical.

@kosintime Taxis are required to take passengers to the address they specified. Every address is accessible by car 24/7 in an LTN. A taxi driver can and need to plan the journey with the filters in mind so they can drop the passengers at their destination. There’s no excuse not to do that.

@kosintime @neilofharringay @DalstonLtn Got it where? There are speed cameras in Stoke Newington Road and Rectory Road but not in Stoke Newington High St.

@kosintime May I ask why though? Deliveries and cabs can still get to every address, the difference is the time to it may be longer depending on the journey. Are you thinking about the cost of the cab journey? The time it would take a delivery to arrive? Thanks.

@Salut_London Noted.

@Salut_London It's happening in parallel. When you restrict through traffic in residential streets you make them safer for people to cycle and it becomes an option it wasn't before. Road safety is the number 1 reason why people don't cycle more or cycle at all for example.

@binny_uk @jennyfmorgan I agree to an extent, but I don't think all the cars you see today going southbound down Boleyn Road to the A10 via Crossway are coming from the North Circular :) Some of those journeys are likely short and will be reduced over time, but not all of course.

@Salut_London Not quite. Once those short car journeys reduce overtime as people have better alternatives in the form of better and safer cycling infrastructure and better public transport, congestion won't be as bad. It doesn't happen overnight.

@Salut_London 2015: "Over one third of all the car trips made by London residents are less than 2km" (london.gov.uk/sites/default/…). To an extent, congestion is by design to deter such short car journeys when an alternative such as public transport, walking or cycling is possible.

@ldner x.com/StokeyUpdates/… Two people were taken to hospital.

@jennyfmorgan @binny_uk 100% agree if your journey starts in Newington Green :) but worth keeping in mind that Newington Green to the A10 is sometimes just part of a much longer journey.

@charlotte_gggg No restriction is proposed for Matthias Road. The southbound Bus Gate is in Boleyn Road/Pellerin Road allowing only buses and cyclists to go through towards Crossway.

@jonjamesmiller @kev_tape There’s also the small issue of a fire station and vehicle access to side streets ;) Church St isn’t Broadway Market for example in that regard.

@Hayleywhite16g1 @DalstonLtn As I read it, the blue areas are to show where planned LTNs will be without getting to level of detail of the filters, because the exact location may not be known yet, unlike the “existing” and the “pending decision” ones. It’s meant to show the % of Hackney that’ll be LTNed.

@Hayleywhite16g1 @DalstonLtn I don’t understated. Filters restrict through traffic and therefore create low traffic neighbourhoods. What do you mean?

@Hayleywhite16g1 @DalstonLtn Those are planned for 2024-5 as far as I’m aware though specific details haven’t been published about consultations etc.

@Stokebrewington @SteveWi38180020 Same here. The other benefit is they 2-way will mean slower traffic, in a good way, more likely to stick to the 20mph limit when there’s oncoming traffic.

@nursey_sarah Could be that the southbound vehicle coming down from Stamford Hill, at speed for some reason by the looks of things, “missed” the island and continued straight into Stoke Newington High St.

@SteveWi38180020 “it was never originally part of the A10” - but it became part of it in the late 1960s when the one-way system was introduced was it not?

@N16Rectory @Roger89835988 any thoughts? I’m not sure if you commented a while ago on the expected traffic levels in Rectory Road should it become 2-way rather than a 2-lane southbound. Cheers.

@Stokebrewington @SteveWi38180020 @Semakaleng @metecoban92 “Health sacrifice” refers to fears of some residents in Rectory Road that making it 2-way as part of the plan will increase the traffic and pollution there. As it’s two lane southbound at the moment, I’m curious whether that’ll in fact be the case or not.

@SteveWi38180020 What does Dalston have to do with it? Are you claiming TfL should be investing in Kingsland High St as well as Stoke Newington High St? Do you know for a fact one comes at the expense of the other? What would you change in Dalston? Do you know for a fact there’s no plan?

@Stokebrewington And hopefully speed enforcement cameras.

@SteveWi38180020 @Semakaleng @metecoban92 In 2018 the plan was to have a separate northbound cycle lane. It’ll be interesting to see whether aspects of TfL’s original plan will change after 5 years.

@briseglace @Semakaleng @metecoban92 It’s to allow northbound traffic to bypass the High Street and thus reduce traffic in the High St as I understand it. I guess that’s a goal as the plan was/is to have a northbound cycle lane in the High St.

@davidjmadden It’ll be interesting to see how/if the plan changes, given it’s been five years since it presented.

@AlexSherston Yes. Based on the 2018 plan, there are new southbound bus stops in the High St but also in Rectory Road, which means splitting the routes so some go via the High St and the rest via Rectory Rd.

Since the introduction of a 20mph speed limit earlier this year on Stoke Newington High St, Northwold Road, and Rectory Road, do you believe it has been effective in slowing down traffic?

@Hayleywhite16g1 Agree.

@Hayleywhite16g1 That’s good. I think Clissold Road/Albion Road is a good candidate for blended crossing as well.

@Hayleywhite16g1 I see. You mean access from Clissold Crescent to the closed section?

@Hayleywhite16g1 Which spaces?

@Hayleywhite16g1 Good points!

@Hayleywhite16g1 Yeah, saw that one too. Look forward to seeing the rain gardens planted. Looking at the closed section, I wondered if the road space between Albion Parade and Avon House could be improved further. Public seating? Bike hanger?

@jonjamesmiller That’s the plan! (@carowoodley)

@LAnderson_Frank Yes. No change to northbound traffic in Matthias Road in the proposal, only southbound.

@ak__shay There’s work currently on cycle lane involving Crossway to an extent through the cycle lane is in John Campbell Rd if I’m not mistaken. Have you looked into that project?

RT @ak__shay: @StokeyUpdates I think cycle lane provision in Hackney is falling behind in particular, e.g. Crossway and Shacklewell Lane

@LilyWaite_ Yes. That’s how I’m reading the map with the southbound filter in Boleyn Road.

@ak__shay How far behind? :) Hackney and Islington have the most number of LTNs in London.

Southbound traffic in Matthias and Boleyn Roads will be reduced as the new one-way filter in Boleyn Rd by Pellerin Rd will mean driving southbound from Newington Green can only take you to Matthias, Cowper, Bennett and Pellerin Roads. No through access to Boleyn Rd. x.com/marcus73/statu…

@EmilyHThom The @roseandcrown16

@ND44BZ Is that your view as an ecologist or someone involved in nature or historical conservation, or just a personal opinion? 40% of Hackney is green space. Highest level of all inner London boroughs. A lot of space for dogs to be off-lead that aren’t a nature reserve and cemetery.

@ND44BZ Also, the point was that while its name include the word “park”, which dates back to the 18th century when it was a private arboretum, as a SINC it’s not comparable with public parks that are not. That’s all.

@DavinJeayes No idea if the two are related, but the opening of the splash pad last year was postponed because of delayed parts from Italy. Maybe the pumping equipment requiring a particular specialist? There was also an issue a few months ago, when the splash pad had to close for a few days.
