Last night there was pandemonium at the junction of Honor Oak Rd and Westwood Park. It had become a traffic free-for all. The Police eventually took control of the three-way mayhem. I'm very concerned that anyone using the island in the middle of the road to cross will be mown down by irresponsible idiots overtaking the tailback along Honor Oak Rd and passing to the right of the island/refuge. This total disregard for the signal and the waiting queue of traffic is now demonstrated every few minutes. The speed that the light jumping traffic streaks ahead is also a concern.

I witnessed one driver, after having overtaken a long line of stationary traffic, suddenly brake at the junction in question when he realised there were two police officers in the road directing traffic. He then put his car into reverse and shot back were he had come from, then made an illegal turn onto Manor Mount, just to compound the offence. I noticed the WPC who was present was on her radio. Lets hope she recorded the registration of the offending vehicle.

Thames Water who are responsible for the two holes in the road, which has caused this traffic interruption have not been present on-site since last Thursday. Go figure.
