Hi all, I thought I would write this post to encourage everyone to contact Lewisham Council about the speeding problem in Honor Oak Park, particularly outside the station.
The speed bumps on the hill from One Tree Hill towards the station are so low that cars/buses do not need to slow down. They just fly over them at speed.
Traffic doesn't always stop at the zebra crossings outside the station as cars are hurtling at such speed in either direction that I don't think the drivers notice there are zebra crossings, let alone people standing at them.
I don't know about anyone else but I feel like it's only a matter of time before there is a major accident.
The traffic needs to be slowed down.
We need to make it safe for people to come out of the station and we need to make it safe for kids to walk to the park!
I would encourage everyone to email or call Lewisham Highways Department who are in charge of this. I have done this myself, but feel the more people who contact them, the more likely they will be to resolve this:
