I am with Devonish on this one and I don't think that the arguments against making Manor Mount two way are really that convincing.

The best argument for keeping Manor Mount one way is probably that the local residents like it that way. That's fine but the reasons cited for preserving the current position could be dealt with by traffic calming measures, cameras and the odd bit of policing.

Making the road two way again would have the positive effect of releasing pressure on the junction with Honor Oak Road and the South Circular where you are often prevented from exiting because inconsiderate drivers already on the South Circular have either gone through on red or are blocking the exit.

The only real negative I can see from making Manor Mount two-way again is that it would reduce the number of gaps in traffic between the exit from David's Road onto the South Circular and the junction with Devonshire Road. That would probably make it harder to exit Devonshire Road and the queue there worse.

Unfortunately, when it comes to traffic flows on and around the South Circular during rush hour, we are probably talking about moving deckchairs on the Titanic and so it is probably not worth getting too excited about this issue.
