Have tried, on more than one occasion, to ask Lewisham to consider changes to Devonshire Road traffic flow but they insist that it is an important route for emergency services.
1. a "no entry" sign as found at top left of page 16 of the booklet; and
2. an "except for buses and cycles" exemption plate as found at bottom right of page 18?
I imagine that this would also allow emergency vehicle access in view of the bus exception (not that emergency vehicles are all buses, but I suppose that emergency vehicles are allowed to pass though this sign - please correct me).
I have sometimes seen local community support buses using this route and it would be good not to exclude them. I don't see a reason that their continued access would be a problem as the blockages are due to the volume of cars queueing both ways.
Another option would be to include an "except for access" exemption sign as found at page 18 of the booklet. This signs would likely be often ignored (my reasoning is that people are happy to ignore a local no entry sign).
Traffic of all form would still be allowed to enter Devonshire Road from the South Circular so as not to cause a blockage of the route (as sometimes occurs with cars queuing onto Devonshire Road) and over-heigh vehicles still be able to use the route to avoid the bridge.
