Must agree, it is shocking that something has been allowed to persist for SO long.
I think now ironically it would be better to remove the one way, make it congested again, and slow the road down!
Strange way to look at it I know, but at least pedestrians would expect two way traffic, and motorists would not be able to go so fast.
PS, I realise this is not a preferred option, and don't blame the locals for that, but with Lewisham's resistance to doing anything about the road....
I can't understand how it would be too expensive to either make it REALLY difficult to get into the road the wrong way, or send someone to collect FPN's all day long. Im sure the person charged with the duty, and the subsequent paperwork would be covered by the FPN's At least for a month until people (the persistent offenders) get fed up of fines.
Hell, I might just go and sit with the dash cam running then hand it to the police at the end of the day, if they are willing to follow up.
